<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1472915, member: 36864&quot;]You can try a few bidding techniques to give you an edge.&nbsp; Some things that I do seem to help stay clear of the bidding wars that sometimes take place. Here are some of my personal rules:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. If there are two people already bidding on an item that you want, wait for one to&nbsp;&nbsp; drop out before placing a bid.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Put in your max bid early, sometimes this will scare off other bidders and the coin is yours for what you wanted to pay.&nbsp; If not, let the coin go.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Use greysheet bid prices to your advantage.&nbsp; To many dealers, the greysheet is their bible and will never bid above that price.&nbsp; That amount is the benchmark of what you can expect to pay for any coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Realize that it is fairly rare to actually get a bargain at public auctions.&nbsp; Be selective in what you really want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me just add that Detecto has the thickest skin on this forum.&nbsp; It seems like every time he starts a thread he gets ripped apart, yet he comes back for more.&nbsp; Just because he doesn&#039;t seem to take it personally, it really is not necessary to give him so much grief.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
