<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2510629, member: 56859&quot;]Re-reading my writeup, I see that I didn&#039;t tell the truth <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I guess it was like the children&#039;s game of &quot;Gossip&quot;, where a story changes a bit with each retelling, except these retellings were mostly in my head <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Eventually the morphed story stuck in my head, and this morning I realized how it had changed.&nbsp; Sorry for that!</p><p><br /></p><p>When the Buy/Bid sale was posted I saw the coin and thought it looked very familiar but at that moment I didn&#039;t realize it was the same coin I lost last year.&nbsp; It&#039;s true that I didn&#039;t even pause to check comps before putting the coin in my basket and checking out.&nbsp; I&#039;d previously looked at every Domna Fecunditas up for auction in the last few years and knew the price was reasonable.&nbsp; I wanted the coin badly and did pay for it as quickly as my fingers would type, fearing that someone else was doing the same at that very moment.&nbsp; In these Buy/Bid sales, coins which are desirable and well-priced tend to sell as soon as the auction is posted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Soon after completing the purchase I did check comps, and then I saw the coin in CNG&#039;s archives.&nbsp; That&#039;s when I recalled that I may have bid on it in the CNG auction.&nbsp; For many of the &quot;big&quot; auctions, I make a page in my database for coins I&#039;m considering, updating the bidding action every few days to get a feel for what might happen at the end (when I bid).&nbsp; I checked my FileMaker database and there it was.&nbsp; I was definitely willing to &quot;overpay&quot; last year!&nbsp; While it wasn&#039;t a cheap coin, the price I paid was more in line with comps.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533925[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
