<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 4879696, member: 75525&quot;]My strategy is to bid live or as late as I can. That means some 4AM days, but what am I gonna do while holed up. I hope you have great luck the rest of the year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bid what I am willing to pay when I calculate total cost to me. That includes hammer price, buyer&#039;s fee, taxes, export fees, postage, bank charges for currency exchange, etc. If someone is willing to bid more or the start price is too high, I dust off my feet and move on. I do not find most of what I want in dealer stock on line or at coin shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a scale weight with a face in May in a lot of 7 weights. The same lot was unsold last year, but I did not see the lot before the auction closed. This year I paid 2.5 times the minimum because I wanted the face weight. At least one other bidder missed the auction last year and we made 9 bids before the dust setteled. I do not think the market improved. I think at least two bidders did not see the lot last year.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1178601[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
