<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1849561, member: 42773&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t be so presumptuous to accuse anyone of lying, but I have noticed that coin collectors tend to exaggerate the deals they get. I don&#039;t believe there&#039;s any malicious intent involved though. Perhaps they&#039;re a bit embarrassed about the amount of money they&#039;ve spent, perhaps they wish to look like savvy buyers, perhaps their wives read their posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I learned early-on that when it comes to posting the cost of a higher-end purchase, inevitably a few posters will say, &quot;You paid WHAT for that coin? Hell, I bought mine for half the price, yadda yadda.&quot; It can lead to the mindset that every coin you buy has to be a bargain, which is dangerous. I no longer post the cost of my expensive coins, and when I do manage to snipe a ridiculous bargain, I post a link to the auction to prove it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s important to know your market so that you don&#039;t get fleeced, but the advice of Tom B, rzage and Morgandude is eminently sound. You get what you pay for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
