<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2633229, member: 76086"]I completely agree. Just bid what it it worth to you, not to anyone else. Everyone has a strategy (or has at least thought about it). However I understand most people wish to pay the lowest, not the highest. Auctions can be all over the place with regards to values and opening bids. Frequently I will see an auction which has very high opening bids (where the previous one had low). There are many reasons for this but when it happens I just ignore the auction. However, low opening bids often work against the auction house. Many times I have seen coins sell at the open and thus about half of what it would sell retail (that's when dealers and collectors who are watching closely step in).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
