edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 08:43 am Do you think someone offered the seller big bucks? Or maybe someone pointed it out and now seller wanted to keep it? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 09:09 am I suspect somebody threw money at him. Clashing even of this magnitude is not unexpected for 1814 - Overton implied it was the single-worst year for clashing. I think the buyer is seeing the relatively-scarce uncracked early die state of O-104, and needed it for his collection. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 12:08 pm I try to be as morally-clear as I can when selling on ebay, but I don't list from altruism. For the right money I'll end an auction. Haven't been that lucky in the 16 years I've been doing it, but I would. Report this Post to the Staff
Peldini Valued Member Canada 79 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 08:46 am I've seen plenty of sellers pull items when it looks like they won't get the desired bids, it really irks me that this allowed after there have been bids placed. If the seller needs a certain price, they should list it as Buy It Now. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 10:34 am The trouble with BIN's is they don't suit the mentality of the typical coin collector. Look into your own head for a moment. We want to cherrypick. We want to get the price which beats the seller - not because we hate the seller but because we want the thrill of victory after a good hunt. And we will bid the price above retail for that feeling. We're not as smart as we think, sometimes. There's a very good reason why I used the term "we," because it includes myself.
