<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1711376, member: 19463"]Well put. I have recently been accepted on two of my last three offers on coins when my offer was 25% off. That suggests to me I am offering too much. When we bid or make offers we need to decide how much the coin is worth to us. I recently saw a coin at auction that had just a month ago been listed at fixed price on a VCoin shop. It ended up bringing more in the auction than the old asking price and the buyer had to pay 12% additional fees as well. Perhaps this was a case of auction fever. The fact remains that auction estimates and fixed price asking prices are just numbers. Pay what you want to pay and walk away when you need to shop another day. In my last example, I wondered if I did the right thing not buying the coin when it was on VCoins but the one I'm getting now (Post Office willing) looks better to me. Sometimes we may walk away from the only coin of the type we will ever see but deciding which case applies each time is the name of the game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
