Yes this makes sense also, seen this in some series coins, when people start collecting later and the original in the series has a much higher premium.

This is what my simple head was trying to say, but @Anteater has put it far more eloquently 

Hmm when do the Chinese fakers start internal competition and fake the fakers..... does this then become fake Chinese whisper?

I was just wondering the aforementioned, how do people as sellers price their goods & and how you as the buyers decide if its a good price or not? 
Obviously there is the spot price of gold/ silver available for all to see. But say for example you were selling a generic Sovereign. Looking around the Internet £385 for value Sovereign seems a fair price. Now as a seller do you match that price? As a buyer would you rather buy from an established seller (with all the extras this gives) for the same price?
Just curious to hear people's thoughts both as buyers and sellers perspectives.
(P.S. I'm not currently trying to sale anything.)

I definitely can relate to this, but yes I do get that over time you just get a 'feel for it', I suppose part of the question is how do you build up that.

The above all makes total sense to me.
It’s worth looking at the forum as a guide.
There are micro trends - for example, some people pay a bit more for some coins in a series because they are collecting a series, or like a particular type of coin

Yes, I can see a lot of sales post that are completed before I get to see them. (I understand the irony in what I have just written.

Makes sense. Me neither but I presume that's the case also. As well as discussing commission they charge for it.

Fully deserves to pay that much and a whole ton more. Knew what he was doing.
 
“As well as complaints over the prize's authenticity, some questioned how much the can was worth, with Brewdog claiming it was valued at £15,000.
The ASA said Brewdog told investigators that a single 330ml can, made with the equivalent 330ml of pure gold, would have a gold value of about $500,000 (£363,000) at the time in October 2021.
But the watchdog considered a general audience was unlikely to be aware of the price of gold, "how that would translate into the price of a gold can, and whether that was inconsistent with the valuation as stated in the ad".
Mr Watt reiterated in his LinkedIn post on Saturday that the "valuation of £15,000 per can was accurate"”.
 
I’m blown away - £15,000, accurate?
How is the general audiences awareness of gold prices even relevant?

Makes sense. Me neither but I presume that's the case also. As well as discussing commission they charge for it.

Setting a reserve is normal, though you can choose to set a soft reserve and give the auctioneer discretion if the price gets very close to it,
Its only on silly TV programs or on cheap lots you don't get reserves 

Yes, and as James rightly says, don't bother here, use a third party.
I've never sent coins to auction but I imagine you/the auctioneer discuss a reserve first?

I wonder who has the record?

I didn't know you were not tbh.
But a membership pays for itself monthly, even if only buying 2 items a month compared to dealers.

100%, and if I had not held mine for a long time and if I paid recent dealers price I suspect I would want more out of them.
If you check my feedback you will see I have sold a lot of special reverse sovereigns at this rate, so it's not just talk 🤪
