<p>[QUOTE="digibyte, post: 1762410, member: 56443"]Just a little side note. In the coin above the seller was selling an 1864 small motto with a starting price of $225 which would be a great price for this rare coin. I thought perhaps it would be a good value at around $350 considering all the factors. The coin stayed at the $225 for days without a bid and I noticed the seller had misspelled motto with 'moto' and I think this may have messed up searches by buyers. I bid $325 on the coin in the last 30 seconds, but was sniped at $350 and lost the auction. I"m not a huge fan of snipers! grrrrr</p><p> </p><p>I put what I feel is my maximum comfort zone for a coin where I think the price will be a good deal and fair. Some bidiots will bid any amount to win and auction and that is tough to compete against. I thought of using a sniping tool myself, but then considered that I would still need to put up a max bid which I already did so I would have lost it anyways. Maybe my bid was too low on this coin, but I couldn't justify paying more on this particular coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
