I think we're more in agreement than disagreement, but I'm not making my point clearly enough, and I don't have time right now to do a better job....
Not if they're being used in place of early bids. An early bid serves to advertise interest in the auction, and interest attracts interest.
So your claim is actually "placing a rational bid early is better than sniping with an irrational bid." I won't argue with that. I will argue...
Folksy as always, but in this case, you've got it exactly backwards. :rolleyes: When you set a snipe, you ARE placing your max bid -- you just...
I'm not trying to criticize personalities. I'm trying to learn, but I'll occasionally cave in and point out a questionable debating technique.
Not quite sure why I'm sticking my head out the window in the middle of this crossfire, but: I've been following discussions here about...
I'm 6'4", and I can't see the top of a CoinStar. I've seen coins on top of vending machines, but not very often. And after seeing how much dust...
Being a burglar isn't a pleasant job, either, and I wish the people pursuing that career would find another job as well. No, I'm not saying...
"obligate"? I do not think that word means what you think it means. "absent"? Last I checked, CoinTalk was up, and had been up almost non-stop...

I think your local coin shop misunderstood you. The most common centennial proof sets just have the silver coins, and yeah, they aren't really in...
This was back around 2012 or so. There were lots of people trying to pull lots of things.
Wow! If only I'd become a smoker, I could've gotten $230, too...
I imagine that it's because of the incuse design -- you're seeing a reflection of the field's edge in the chin's curve. I don't think it's an...
I don't think Kurt especially needs any help defending himself, and I don't picture him obsessively watching his "likes" total. I do have to...
Well, up to 28 percent of it. Suppose you bought an ounce of gold at $1050, plus $10 shipping. You then sell it on eBay at $1250, and pay $125 in...
Man, I'd hate to load a roll like that. It must've been about the size and shape of a stick of chalk.
You may well be right. I haven't dug into that distinction. I've had people lowball me on .925 coins, but I think that's mainly because they...
