<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1390169, member: 19065"]Sometimes you can get a good deal on an item listed in the wrong category as potential buyers that may want to buy the item haven't found it, particularly if they only search or browse category listings... but similarly, be wary until you know more about any such item that seems listed out-of-context, as it may be intentionally put there to sell to those without requisite information about the condition and value of such a listing. You said the magic words though, "After I learn about them..." always do you homework first! There will come future chances to buy when you are better informed.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, as you are now 'horsing around' as it were, flirting with sniping, after leaving another thread in a huff over the ethics (perhaps) of such auction bidding. It's worth noting that most boiled the topic down to a proven point, that so-called, 'sniping' doesn't exist. It's still just 'bidding' afterall, whether by automating the action or physically doing so in real-time. Any other use of the term appears to be self-aggrandizement, to suggest those bidders are somehow greater and faster than machine timed bids, other manual bidders and somehow by having won in a sliver of time, somehow better than the rest of the supposed interested parties in a given auction. It's all a load of horse manure I tell ya!</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm glad to see you can potentially connect two of your interests horses and numismatics (large size paper money, in this case) together.
