Post-Auction Depression

Oh, woe is me. I just found out I got outbid on the floor of the Heritage Signature sale.

(For the interested, it was the 1806 VF Draped bust Quarter).

Frankly, I wasn't willing to go higher than I did. It went to the floor with my bid of $750, and I had a max of $800 on it. It sold for $850 (plus the juice).

But after staring at it, thinking about it, and wanting it for two weeks, it's a downer not to be getting it!!

Oh, well....More money to spend on other coins.

Ah, PAD. We've all suffered it. I hear there are support groups forming.

In retrospect do you feel it may have been better to go with a higher bid? Or do you think that may have simply ended up making someone else outbid you at a higher level?

BTW, I feel your pain (not to sound too much like clinton) but it hurts to want something and realize someone else will get it.

Oh, I guess I wouldn't have done it any different. I did the "proper" thing....Decided on my highest bid, and stuck with it. After that, let the chips fall where they may!

I was actually surprised to get outbid. That either means I'm smarter than the winning bidder, or he's smarter than me. Take your pick.

You did good. Don't get caught up in bidding fever.
