<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 6473714, member: 80952&quot;]I noticed the same situation in the last months. Usually I buy from a certain auction house, as I know they are serious and ship quickly, they usually have budget coins so this is fine for me. </p><p>4-5 months ago I won some nice coins, my personal estimate was 30-35 EUR but I won them with 20-25. Recently, my 35-40 estimates had the hammer price 60-80. Obviously, more bidders. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Limes - overpaying on a coin is frustrating and I avoid this. </p><p>Normally when I see a coin on my wish list is &quot;very popular&quot; in live auctions and exceeds my estimate with more than 20-25%, I let it go.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only explanation I find is that there are 2-3 bidders there that really want the coin and get carried away. One might say it&#039;s not a disaster if a coin personally estimated at 50 EUR is won with, let&#039;s say, 80, but when you win 30 coins at an auction your budget might cry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
