[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 25607707, member: 36248"]100% I get it. It's just funny to me that I'm the one setting the current market value of any given coin as the perennial underbidder. I definitely need to make a change on coins that I feel I must win at all costs. I guess in that case, I will double my current method and hope it winds up closer to the bottom range and not the top of my range. I only collect cheaper coins <$350 so there is only so much doubling that I can do before they dont even meet my set criteria. Really, there are not too many coins that I feel I *must* own, but I need to change my mentality when those coins show up and be much more aggressive. For instance, some of the Type coins I want, in the grades I want, in the holder I want, have only shown up 6 times in a *decade* of past auction results on GC. Well, for those coins, its less about the value of the coin, it's more about it is so infrequently changes hands that what I really fighting for is even the opportunity to bid. When those coins show up, I need to realize that likely there are other people seeing it for the first time in a few years, and they will be aggressive. At the end of the day, I might likely continue to be the underbidder, but I certainly need to change something about what I am doing, else I end up crying every Sunday night, :bigtears:.[/QUOTE]
