    Anybody else getting in on these? I've kinda tried to get away from feebay but with the new auction house auctions, man, they have got me back in. I love auctions but I never have time to go. There was a huge coin auction Friday and Saturday night with around 700 something lots in each one. I ended up getting a couple Morgan's last night and a large cent and a standing liberty quarter.

    Some things get overpriced with the excitement so you gotta be careful but I think I did pretty good. I'll post pics and prices when I get them.

    They are listed in the other listings. Be careful though, they do not usually ship.

    Thanks! Will love seeing your pics. Suggest putting them up in Post Your Latest Acquisitions so we can all enjoy them.

    Live.ebay.com is the address to take you straight to them. Like last guy said though, make sure you read fine print and that they ship.

    Go to Auctionzip and select online auctions. May save you from paying an additional fee. ;)

    Here's a pic of the invoice. I'm pretty excited to get them. A lot of Morgan's came up. I ended up making a list of all the key dates and put them up so when I'm on there I can reference it real quick. Might just get lucky one day. 2015-11-15 15.00.18.jpg

    I thought I had got a large cent but I was wrong. I'm still looking to add my first to my collection.

    Is this Ebay live auctions? Isn't there a buyer's fee? No offense but looks like coins you could buy on Ebay all of the time. For a few dollars more I usually get Morgans that are higher AU.

    No, Ebay is just providing a connection to other online auctions hosted by auctionzip. It looks like they tag on their own fee for the connection/expanded advertising.?.

    Pretty sure it is as OP actually listed the live.ebay.com address. So yes there is buyers fee's plus the bid price and shipping.

    I've looked at a few but have never found anything anywhere close to being worth bidding on. Most stuff appeared highly overpriced when considering the buyers fee and expensive shipping.

    No offense taken. You gotta understand me though. I thoroughly enjoy auctions but, I never have time to go. So I may pay a dollar or 2 more but I'm pretty mindful not to go to far over. I saw some last night that were paying $20 more than you could buy on eBay. For me though I'm paying for the entertainment if I pay too much.

    Sometimes you can steal them. I saw one last night where it was a first year morgan 7/8 tail feather in MS condition. I had no idea what it was. Someone physically at the auction started out with, I think, a $140 bid and nobody else bid so he took it home. When I looked them up they were selling for $100 more than that on eBay regularly.

    Now I know better what to look for. I made my list of key dates and what people are buying them for.

    But anyway, for me I don't mind the extra couple bucks. I'll write it off as the cost of having fun. I love winning too, so that helps lol.
