[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3240952, member: 92655"]I been plundering along fifty years buying coins here and there. Mostly with trusted dealers. Lately with some super guys here on CT and have amassed a respectable collection... Or rather more of a hoard of mostly average coins with some respectable pieces. I am at a place where I could treat myself to a dream coin and man, Heritage has been emailing me the most incredible batch of dream coins this old boy has ever seen that are currently up for auction. I should be working, but have been salivating all over my keyboard looking at these. Before I plug a big number into a couple of these I wanted to ask a few questions from those of you that are more experienced with this kind of buying. Does plugging in a big number for a dream coin early in the auction process simply mean that others will know that I am after that piece and likely outbid me early on simply driving the price sky high? Does the savvy bidder wait until close to gavel dropping to place his bid? I have heard of hiring folks to do the bidding for you. In other words, I could quite easily see myself getting competitive in the heat of the thing and bid more than I need to spend. I don't lose well. How does a person seek out this kind of a service?[/QUOTE]
