I always hate it when I'm just trying to run up the bid and win...

I bid on coins because I care about owning the coin. What about me, can you down bid to make me happy?

You beat me to that sentiment.

 

d-bags, lowlife flippers

 

Don't hold back...tell us what you think

 

It didn't matter if I win or not.....OK
They are nice and I like them both.....OK
I collect half dollars.....OK
I like the older holders.....OK
I spend my days running bids up. ...err... WHAT????
It's fun. It is good for the sellers. I will send both these coins to CAC as I believe both will receive a green bean. I can sell for more than I paid.

So...You jack other people's bids up in order to ARTIFICIALLY keep prices high, so you can sell your coins for more than you paid?????

I've read your statements and I've read your avatar name, but are you really that dizzy?

Sir(and I use that term loosely), You are the Bane of all Bidders.

 

If Dave Hester is your example, then brother, you're in the wrong hobby.

 

I think it's one thing to see an item online in an auction for a low price and try and place a below market bid hoping you get a deal...but just to run up prices because "it's fun" is a pretty pathetic thing to do and it hurts the hobby.

 

Someone has to police certain auctions. Or stuff goes too cheaply. I recently ran this ms67 ike rattler up to 121.50. Look how good that was for that seller. Wouldn't you love to be that guy? I was a buyer at 119.00 and not a penny more. I ran it up to 100 with 9 days left. This is what happens when I early high bid on certain coins can create a bidding frenzy. 40 price guide. I know it is a rattler. But it is an ike. I'm not sorry I missed out on this one however.

 

And in my travels I discovered an overlooked series. I did a lot of research on this series. And now I can buy raw coins at well under what they value and sell at graded. So much so that I can send in for grading and still profit. So while you guys are over there criticizing I am over here like $h*t I need a second safe deposit box? All this stuff i learned from playing the bay.
I used to play an online game where you had an auction house. You could get certain thing in game and sell in the auction house. I started doing that years ago. And just applied the same principles here only with real money.

 

......or pay for half my purchase? That would make me very happy.

Speechless.

 

This thread is a real trip. I understand 19th halves are hot right now, and I get that nice specimens likely won’t go below gray sheet, but not sure what to think about this.

 

How much does that seller pay you to be a shill bidder?

You are evil incarnate. Serious lack of morals.

 

Not enough people doing what I'm doing pays me? It isn't shill bidding. That's when a seller has you bid all his auctions. These are even different sellers. Yes I wouldn't go to sleep with these at 150. 200 or I'll buy them. In hand these coins are nice. They are in going in my "to cac" box in my safety deposit box tomorrow. If they get the bean I'll sit on them until I retire. They'll certainly be worth the 170s + cac I paid by then.

 

I really wish they would have brought more right? If they were capped bust halves, no problem getting them way over grey. I'm sad that these aren't popular enough yet to get the notoriety? But in say 20 years maybe? That's when I'll be looking to retire.

 

This makes no sense. It's gibberish. Please re-phrase it to try and make a point.

 

Honestly. I’m not sure I believe what I’m reading in this post. A normal person wouldn’t do these things…get joy out of hurting others in the hobby.

I suspect the OP is lying (trolling).

 

I've been suspecting that ever since this statement:
"I spend my days running bids up. It's fun. It is good for the sellers"
Which I consider to be too insane to be serious.

 

I think the OP just bid his highest offer and figured they would go for more. I don't really see anything wrong with that. Now the "automated" snipers, that is low brow.

 

I think that might have been what the original post was intended to mean…but later posts seem to be just to troll.
