<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 7507394, member: 109923&quot;]Yes that has happened to me a few times. I used to bid low on later lots to remind me to bid on them if I won my target coin, so as to &#039;share&#039; the postage costs (a false economy in itself). I never dreamt I would win at those prices. I try not to do that anymore!</p><p><br /></p><p>Other times I&#039;ve been so keen to bid on a lot that I press the bid button a bit too enthusiastically, and end up buying the next lot too. Fortunately, they have not been expensive. I will take care the next time an EID MAR comes up for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one I bought early in my auction &#039;career&#039;. I was very keen on an upcoming coin and I didn&#039;t want anything to go wrong. To make sure I&#039;d registered correctly and to make sure the bid button worked, I bid on the next cheap coin that came up. And won it. Luckily, it&#039;s a nice coin and I was able to sell it!</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Constantius II AE3, 324-361</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1297249[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Arles (renamed Constantina).
