Expert Pro Auction Bidding Tip: Don't linger if you didn't win the item you wanted

If you had your heart set on a specific item in a live on-line or in person auction and you got outbid, then learn how to fold the cards and leave.

I can't tell you how many times I lost out on items that I really coveted and then unfortunately made the mistake of "lingering" around and not leaving the auction in search of some kind of substitute or consolation prize. The result unfortunately, is that you end up buying another item or items that in the heat of the moment you thought was a good deal and was a piece you had to have. However, after the dust settles at the end of the auction, you realize that you were just trying to make up for a beloved item that you lost and you ended up settling for something that you didn't really need or even really wanted.

If you want to be a really disciplined collector of antique silver or of any other type of high end collectible, you need to know how to restrain your emotions and let the logical side of yourself conduct business when bidding at auctions.

Conclusion: When you lose a bid, you accept the loss and hope that another item of the same type or similar will eventually come up again. Don't placate your emotional side and linger around and keep bidding on items you don't really need or want.

We know you have many selling options out there even including the auctions. However, never hurts to get more than one opinion on your valuable antique silver items. We also specialize in buying large collections of rare and valuable silver items. Plus, sometimes many smaller items are not always the most optimal choice and not as worth while in consigning to larger auction houses. We will buy all your items including pieces only worth a few dollars on up to larger items worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We want it all including your scrap silver pieces.

Give us a try, you won't regret it!
