Message:: [QUOTE="mynamespat, post: 2603813, member: 83738"]I just spent too much time looking for a little devil in the smiley list ;p Aye, I understand what you are saying.  If the bidder took the auctioneer's AU marks as truth the price is about right, but I don't see anything to indicate the peace dollar is even near to AU.  Both "One" and "Peace" on the reverse are pretty much worn away (could be lighting - I dunno). I guess, for full disclosure, I can say where I was at on this (my thought process- see if it makes sense or I should adjust).I was interested because I am close enough to self pick-up and avoid additional fees. I was also already bidding on other lots.  I figured this lot and the next (a 22d and 23d peace) might be at the high end already when I bid 45 and 35 ($99 including premium; 24.75/coin).  I wasn't terribly surprised when the bid was upped.  At $55 and $45 (30.25/coin) I figured the value could still be there.  Then I hit this lot once at $65 before hammer (um...cause I like to gamble?). After seeing the other bidder with max bid set at least at $70,  I was wondering if I missed something or assessed the situation poorly. Aye, sorry, it's not even a ball-busting situation.  I'm just new to this online bidding stuffs.  I figure by analyzing this now, it could save me money later on with more valuable coins.[/QUOTE]
