<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 351941, member: 3726"]It may be too late and a mistake made if you wait til after the auction. While I do not know which auction you are referring too I would probably have netted the coin out at F details. Still as mentioned you can do better. I also am a firm believer in determing the price you will bid and stopping at that. I have actually PM'ed a few people to look at auctions for me - I figure what I will bid and leave it at that. So if you bid less than that what you were willing to bid and lost - that is your fault. If you bid what you were willing to pay and lost - then someone over paid for the coin. At least that is my philosophy - I am to the point where I buy more from dealers than from ebay. I know it can still happen, but I am not one who will win a $200 coin for $10 - I have no luck. I would rather have something I know about in advance. Now time to go post my two new additions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also keep in mind I continually watch large cents and will peg the auctions I am looking at early on. Then I may or may not bid. I just can not believe what the coins go for sometimes on ebay - so I lose a whole bunch of auctions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
