<p>[QUOTE="SilverWilliesCoinsdotcom, post: 2909434, member: 86795"]eBay is not a true auction in my mind, in that I can just make a bid of what I am willing to pay and go away. If someone beats my bid, so be it. I made my judgement already. The drive to WIN is not in my decision. The desire to buy at MY price is. I may not win as many auctions as others, but I'm bidding against a larger clock, that of time itself. There'll always be another coin of that date mint and condition that comes along. I am bidding against probability. In fact, I can probably even calculate how long before my bid will be a winning one, but that I'm not concerned about. There's a price for impatience, and rather than pay it, I am lucky enough to want any number of coins at any given time, and if I win one auction a week? It's usually something I really want and I get it at a very good price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
