Did It Again...impulse Buy.

Yeah, we get it :P

Sometimes there is a bit of buyers remorse in the short term...I have been known to go very overdrawn when I see something that I MUST have...but a few years down the line the pain is forgotten and the some of the star pieces in my collection I aquired like that.

I guess it depends whether you are trying to make money out of the hobby or simply enjoy collecting...I think I have excepted that I will never get rich off it and except for some gold bullion coins that I bought when gold was low (which I profited and sold when times got harder) I cant see myself ever parting with any of my items so even if I overpay a little it won't change my life that its worth less than it cost.

With ebay you always run the risk that what gets delivered may dissapoint...but I hope you will be pleased when it arrives.

Sometimes it pays off, but through experience most times it doesn't. Made the mistake once buying an IHC at the last minute based soley off the description ("uncirculated...) and a fairly pixilated picture. Was sorely disappointed when the coin arrived. On E-Bay it pays to be diligent and to do your homework before buying.

Yup, had just unloaded a couple bars a few weeks back and got $39 a piece for them on the bay. They don't make them anymore obviously, they ended their production in the 80's.

The bar is authentic with a clear discription of what I am getting from a reputable seller with 1000's of feedback...all 100%. Upon looking into it further, the bar will be legit. I just bought it fast because I've never seen or heared about a bar like this from the RCM. Didnt wanna miss out on something that I really liked and not be able to find again. Turns out I did pay too much and you can find them out there. There is a nice premuim with them for sure but I still paid too much. :-( Another lesson learned and am even more educated now. 1 inflated purchase out of dozens and dozens isn't so bad. But at least now I think after I get this bar, I may start to collect a few more of them. I have been trying really hard to just pick up at the best price possible, but find it hard when something like this comes up and makes you think that you may want to have more of them inspite them carrying a $15 premium. We will see. At least now I can look harder and try and find the best deal. Cheers!

We've all been there, Sam. Like Hawk said, I once missed the word, "clad" when I made an apparent silver buy on ebay a few years ago. I saw it almost immediately afterward and asked the seller if I could pass on the sale and offered to pay the listing fees. He kindly consented and I never made that mistake again.
