[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3018826, member: 56859"]Yes, but... please don't post coins which are currently up for auction. Someone else here might be targeting the coin and drawing more attention to it might benefit the seller but not the bidders. Also, if it is already being seriously targeted by another CT member and they win, when they post the coin people might perceive this as "stealing" the coin from another member (they'd be wrong, but perception is reality). As for posting coins publicly listed in a "retail" venue or fixed price list, I think that's a bad idea too although the biggest risk is to the person posting the coin (someone else might buy it as a result of seeing it here). I encourage you and others to ask for opinions via [B]private messaging[/B] if you are not yet comfortable choosing your own targets. I bet the PM section of CT is busier than the public section. You can even have group messages. It's a great way to discuss upcoming auctions without drawing unwanted attention to the coins. If there is an interesting coin you want to discuss (but not necessarily to buy) and it is in an auction which has not yet closed, please bookmark the coin and delay your question until after the auction ends.[/QUOTE]
