[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 2588841, member: 28531"]For some unknown reason, I like coins in lucite. I have different sizes and shapes with various denominations and countries. I saw one that was different with .99 cent start, $4.95 buy-it-now. Well, I figured nobody else would want it so I waited. A bid came in and the BIN disappeared. Figuring the other guy was cheap like me, I put in a bid at $5 but it wasn't enough. Three hours later with 15 seconds to go, I bid $10 and it wasn't enough. With just a couple seconds left I shot off a bid of $12 and won at $11.50. If only I had just paid the $4.95 at the beginning I would have been spared a few bucks and a lot of effort. Anybody else want to share a story where you shot yourself in the foot? Thought you guys might enjoy my minor tale of cheapness and woe. Here are sellers pics.
