Does this seem legit, not into the eBay life yet.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-2-2009-American-Silver-Eagle-1-oz-Coins-BU-/280956672003?pt=Bullion_US&hash=item416a529803#ht_500wt_922
What's too good to be true? Its a 1-day auction for ASE's, not a BIN, and current bid is under $3. It'll go way much higher than that before it ends, probably well over spot. Seems plenty legit to me.
Bidding doesn't really take off until an hour or so before an auction ends, maybe even down to the last 15mins people start trying to really out do each other.
15 mins,,, um try 15 seconds, the last minute counts down in seconds and most decent numismatics bidders time there last cast bid for under 10 seconds from close.
It also is a stock photo with coins from a mint roll. I have found ASEs from such rolls with ugky ( ugly and yucky) toning, so don't complain if that is what one gets.
Yep that works great, as long as you don't have a "questionable" connection that that may freeze up sometimes (dial up can be fun), or a browser that doesn't suddenly decide to take care of some housekeeping first, and if the auction doesn't happen to end at 3:37 AM. Yes manual sniping works fine, I just find an online programs is more dependable and I don't have to be there when the auction ends. I can be off doing something else.
Try this technique with 40 auctions ending at the same time. Bidnapper or one of the other sniping services can! Chris
Indeed, good points. Dialup? What's that? Most I've had to deal with was 3 auctions about 25 minutes apart. I've never actually used an automated program, but if I end up doing much more of this, I might.
