ominus1 Posted August 19, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2022 ...in my opinion, if the top coin is a tetradrachm, it'd be in the ballpark... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? I'm not sure I understand this: Are you saying you won them at auction but you're thinking about not paying? If you bid at auction, it's a promise to pay. If you then refuse to pay, people won't sell you coins or let you bid again. But if you just want a second opinion on the price, then (just initial reaction, without having looked up comparison prices on everything) I think it's probably between "you did fine" and "that's a pretty good deal!" Mainly because there's a nice tetradrachm in there, as others have said. I definitely don't look at it and think "way too much" or anything. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? Doesn't matter if it's a good purchase or not. You entered into a contract when bidding on those items and are obligated to pay for them. edit: as Curtis said!

ambr0zie Posted August 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 Is this a joke? You are posting the tetradrachm for a while. Just make sure the seller still has it and is willing to send it. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor kirispupis Posted August 19, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted August 19, 2022 What an odd lot. The tet is very nice besides the cut. I'd say what you paid is about right for it, though I haven't bothered to look up the attribution. The other coins aren't really worth much. It seems strange to pair them. Since you've already won this lot, can you post which auction house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all from this auction: https://www.biddr.com/auctions/damarisauction/browse?a=2752&p=2 As you suspect, the other coins combine for a fairly low total relative to the tet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romismatist Posted August 20, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 20, 2022 It looks like the auction happened back on the 23 and 24 of July. Assuming it took a week or two to send out the invoice, you are probably close to defaulting on the payment and having to pay the 12% penalty interest. Usually once you've won the auctions you bid on, it's best to pay up as soon as possible, as having to pay the penalty cost is completely avoidable. One other note: it looks like the coins you've shown were not sold as a lot, but individually. The first tet is Lot 124 and was awarded at EUR 190. That means the rest of the coins were won at EUR 100. Not sure if that changes much, this is not my area of collecting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a minor point, the other coins were won for a total hammer of 40 EUR but the buyer's premium + shipping brings the total from 230 to 290 EUR. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantoffel Posted August 21, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 21, 2022 So the big question is @Kosmas did you bid on these coins with full understanding how an auction works? And if you had the winning bid on them, did you already pay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcumbor Posted August 21, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2022 It would be smart to pay for what you've been bidding on and won as soon as possible IMO Q 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure - but with all my biddr auctions so far it was like this - that the biddr system generates the invoices automatically - and that the invoice appears in the account the next day after the end of the auction at the latest. With Biddr I have never had to wait 1-2 weeks for an invoice. As I said - I am of the opinion that this is even generated automatically by the system.
