[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 25595074, member: 36248"]I am frequently the underbidder on GC Auctions, sometimes I feel "relief" but mostly lately I have been loosing a lot of nice coins, even bidding full retail+. I guess a coin that I want, is also wanted by 1 or 2 other people willing to overpay, or maybe "appropriately" valuing the quality of the coin beyond generic retail pricing. Either I got a real nice eye for special coins, or GC is so dang popular now all their coins go for premiums, or maybe some just follows me around and beats me at the last second every dang time just to make me cry. I even started putting a value on the CAC sticker and GreatPhoto, and I still get beat consistently. Example: I take FULL RETAIL PCGS price guide for the Cert + $20 if its CAC sticker +$10 with a GreatPhoto + $20 for Old Holder like NGC Fatty and then I even do a 1.25x Toning for great toning. My thinking is that Sticking myself costs more than $20 per coin, awesome photos are easily worth $10 per coin, etc. Even then I still loose so many awesome coins in the < $350 category, and I am always the dang underbidder! :punch:[/QUOTE]
