They simply do not come up for sale enough to have a set market price. I also don't think you were necessarily low-balling as you're right it's hard to know what costs what and at first thought it's easy to think "it's a gram of silver, so it's not an expensive amount"...but keep in mind many of the coins you'll find here are limited mintage, and made by people , not big businesses. They are not able to cheaply make coins like a big mint would. So the fact that they are low mintage specialty coins, premiums will be a bit high.
This exactly. KY just hopes he can buy shit at pawn-shop prices. It doesn't work that way here.
Why is my name getting thrown in the mud here?
All of my recent purchases have been at either market price or above market price or I have gotten super lucky at auctions.
I really feel like when I bid on a high value auction, you guys don't wanna outbid me to see if I will pay. thats how I think I have won a ton of auctions lately
