House of idiots....

It always happens on Teletrade.
I see a coin that I need for my Registry set, enter a bid that borders on the ridiculous, hoping nobody
gets even close and some nitwit-probably the same one, or perhaps a resident nitwit-outbids it.
It's a later date dime and only MS 66 for God's sake! Population is low because nobody has
submitted many of them.
How much? All I know is that I can buy at least 4 original rolls of the date for what the nitwit bid and
I'm dead certain I can get at least 1 66 and have the rest for resale.
Please don't ask me why I haven't done that. And here's hoping the nitwit isn't a member
of this forum because he/she is hung out to dry at this point

No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey.
It's just that I got my PCGS grades.

I doubt anyone in their right mind would put a reserve that high on it.
It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
But the point was, and is, that as ludicrous as my original nitwittery was-at least two nitwits on steroids
managed to out bid me.
The coin is worth no more than about 1/3 of the current bid in the real world.
I'm sorry, but if all this sounds like sour grapes it's because that's exactly what it is
It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
Bid is up to $480 now-over $100 more than a 1956 PL 67 Dollar and about what you could get
an MS 65 1806 British farthing for.
But this is the siren song for coin newbies and, sometimes, for nitwits like myself--POP 2 and NONE HIGHER!!
Like, maybe, a 2009 clad Roosevelt dime because no one in his/her right mind would waste the grading fees
submitting it.
For example I sold an MS 68 Morgan dollar for nearly $14,000 about fifteen years ago because it was one of
only 8 Morgans in that grade. And that was to another dealer!!.
I could buy it back today for about half that price since there are probably 30 or more.
Three factors at work here: 1: I want what only 2 other people on God's green earth have got. 2: The "greater fool"
principal (and I have a solid education in that one.)
3: As the used car salesman said "There's an ass for every seat".
None of this matters though, since tomorrow I'm going to take the $280 I bid on the coin and buy Ohio Powerball lottery tickets

My name is WWW, and I'm a nitwit too.
My apologies to grinchbc and welcome to the forum.
Yes-as in my original statement "as ludicrous as my original nitwittery was"-I'm obviously a nitwit myself when it
comes to collecting.
In fact I've served proudly as a crew member on Starship Nitwittica for many years now

I feel your pain.

You're probably close Ajaan. I put in a lot of "just to see what happens" bids so I can check what the coin sold for the next morning. At least half of them
never show up.
I don't know how consignors are able to juice up bids on that site; or perhaps it's just the nature of the bidders, but I never feel quite comfortable that
I've gotten the best price I could get on most coins. By the same token, most of the consignments I've made, without reserve, sell for what I consider
peanuts-and I've sent some very nice material in.
I'm not paranoid about those kinds of things but it makes me wonder sometimes if I'm missing something on just how "the game" is played...

I said was directed toward your operation.
I see a lot of very nice coins with great pictures in your Ebay listings. Hope we can do some business.
Best regards....
