LOL ! Only retired from my professional career pal, not numismatics ;)
I agree 100%. But, if the programs weren't available, it couldn't happen.
Highly unlikely since Peace dollars all have a satin finish, not a brilliant finish like Morgans do. I've never seen one that was mirrored...
Hmmm - you mean like I do ? :)
OK. But when you consider that there are roughly 200 countries you'll be looking for coins from, if you only saved $1 per coin, it would save you...
It's pretty simple, for the same reason it works in live auctions. Because a person will stop and think and not bid anymore. The sniping programs...
Well, I might agree, except for one thing. I don't recall exactly how long it's been, a year or two now maybe, but ever since the CDN changed...

Numismaster, unless they have changed in the last few years, does nothing more than list the values listed in the Krause catalogs. And pretty much...

Jeff I'm not arguing the point that there are people who use sniping programs in a responsible manner, and place responsible bids. Of course...
There's a whole lot of people, many members of this forum, whom I help with their collections. One of these days, ask for some of them to tell you...
I would agree with your comments. But there's a big caveat in there - you HAVE to know what you are doing. Sadly, most ebay buyers do not.
Just so you know, meaning aware; we have actually had people post here on the forum describing exactly what I described - and asking how they...
Careful now Kurt, it's starting to sound like you might even agree with me :D
