    I think you overpaid on some of those coins especially the IHC. but as long as you are happy, then good for you.

    I wonder if the shield has been cleaned?

    Also, why do the grades in the redbook for the shields go from fine to ef? There is not vf.

    A serious question, How much time a day do you spend on ebay?

    I've gone on 'bidding spree's......unintentional buying spree's......that have resulted in me winning (ouch) multiple auctions. :)

    I hope you stayed away from that IHC with all of the green.

    green18,

    yeah, and it usually is a result of boredom, and the sooner I can stop that, the better!

    Not to worry. Your're safe from me on that one Valente. :)

    It's not so much boredom, Kasia, as it is setting up a few bids on items that I think are fair, and what I'm willing to pay, and then finding out that I've won them all. In the end I never dreamed that I'd win them all. Thought for sure somebody would have out bid me on one or two. :)

    Green18,, I was actually saying that sometimes when I've gone on a buying spree, it's a result of boredom on my part, not for you.

    I started picking up Ikes on Ebay but not this many! If I get one or 2 a week it seems like a lot

    In July I had just started really collecting coins/medals, and also I had just started buying on EBay. With all the pretty coins and medals floating around, I went a bit crazy buying off of EBay. I made many sellers very happy for two months. I am still buying but have slowed way down. My way of not overdoing it now is to select what I want to watch at the beginning and watch the coin/medal for a while. If I still want it at the end of the auction, I will bid on it. I rarely look at the ending soonest listings anymore; it leads to impulse buying.
