[QUOTE="vipergts2, post: 208278, member: 3881"][b]cc[/b] The worst I've done that I can remember (I have a horrible memory!) was at a small coin show I went to. I was looking for Morgans to fill some holes, but I could nto find any I wanted. I just had to buy a coin so I spotted a 78 CC so I checked my price guides I printed off from ecoinprices and decided the price was fair. When I got in my car after the show I double checked the price from my three year old redbook and said oops. After I got home I checked completed auction listings and reallized I payed about twice what it was selling for. The coin is only F to VF so I wasn't out a lot but I was still bummed a little. Normally the ecoinprices guide is only a couple bucks high but in this case it was way off. Lesson learned, stay with your game plan and get a better handle on current prices.:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
