    Unless your buyer or you can definitively prove otherwise, all that talk is just after-the-fact fodder. It's sort of similar to the way many dealers tell you how that one coin you picked out of their case just coincidentally happens to be the one that he "paid very strong money for" while you're left wondering "why doesn't he pay that strong money for the coins I offer for sale to him?" It's really nothing more than "could'a, would'a, shoud'a". You live with it and move on to the next deal.

    I once sold a coin, took my shoes off, and then realized I had an ingrown toenail.

    That was teribad.

    I only feel bad in that case if I've shaved my price to the bone after misreading the customer. Usually you can tell a guy that will move on if he thinks you're making a buck from someone who thinks you should make a living. There is never a 2 to 1 ration of the respective prices either. --Jerry

    What a stupid thing to say to a dealer. Next time he sells him a coin, they may very likely jack the price up.

    Well, that comment sure beats, "You charged me way too much for this coin. I will never buy from you again."

    The key word in that sentence is "considered", the buyer didn't state they "would" have paid double.

    The buyer is strongly conveying no buyers remorse on that transaction.
