<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 391958, member: 12718&quot;]Jaceravone -</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I kind of see a collector buying coins similar to a slightly used car purchase.&nbsp; I like to research what the market commands given it features.&nbsp; I try and separate out the emotional factors (paint color, etc.) and focus on the core value/condition.&nbsp; I then determine what I will pay for the car.&nbsp; I then try and engage the seller, talk a bit about the car, point out some concerns, and then start with a lower amount and negotiate upward to my max predetermined price.&nbsp; I have to be able to walk away and if I don&#039;t get my price, I do so pleasantly and respectfully.&nbsp; I let them know that if they change their mind about my offer, then I stand ready to do the deal.&nbsp; Who knows, maybe they&#039;ll contact you a few days later.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, the above might be a poor analogy, but there are always other cars/coins of the same make/model/year on the market.&nbsp; The test is to be patient.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, given all that blather, if the coin jumps out to me and seems to be special, then I will pay a premium and close the deal - never looking back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
