<p>[QUOTE="Caesar_Augustus, post: 3080977, member: 87659"]I'm in a similar situation to A, actually. But I'm far from completing a set, so if it's too expensive, I just pass. If I'm really close to completing a set I'd consider bartering for it, to get it down to a price I can handle. But, this just might be that I'm a relatively poor uni student and I need to be tight with my budget. I always vote for, "if it's too pricey, then wait". Either for more funds, or for a cheaper example. I would never just pounce on a coin, unless it's something I really really want that I don't see that often, not really related to completing a set, or if it's a really good price.</p><p><br /></p><p>How would a coin be priced? I think it should be priced according to the seller's circumstance. For example, if you got that coin for $10 in a lot, or something like that, then you should price it perhaps based on the margin you would like to get from selling it. Maybe $20? Don't think it would sell very well if priced at $200, but it seems like you could definitely make the claim that it is worth that much. And if someone is looking to fill that hole, than he or she might pay for it if the funds are available. Im sort of echoing what has already been said here, but itiis also what im thinking. This is a very interesting discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
