Can someone help me figure out how to value coins??

Twice this week I made offers on coins and was told it was too much. I bought each for less.

Twice this week my offer was too low and the seller passed.

Can someone help me figure this game out?? image

    Based on the sheer volume of posts like this, I think PCGS should start a dedicated "I Made Offers on Coins And Was Told It Was Too Much" forum.

    No problem. If you simply double all of your offers, you'll end up with a lot more coins. Stop by my table. I'll show you how it works!

    Andy, you took my last offer so fast that I know you can't wait to see me at FUN. image

    The estimate I gave you way back was CLEARLY way too low. image

    I don't make offers. I ask how much someone wants for something, then I play or pass.

    Sometimes though, if we're close, I will make a counter offer twice the distance from the goal line, so we can meet in the middle and both feel like we got what we wanted.
