<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2489719, member: 19463&quot;]Relatively few sellers publish how much the winning bidder actually bid.&nbsp; When we bid $123 and the coin sells for $124 we often wonder if we could have won had we bid $125 or if the winner bid $1000 and we were wasting our time showing up.&nbsp; Rules and increments vary with every venue.&nbsp;&nbsp; All we can do is learn the rules for the sale in question and bid an amount that will strike us as appropriate whether we win or lose.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some sales include more than one example of the same type coin.&nbsp; I enjoy watching the realization on the second and comparing it to the first.&nbsp; Sometimes it reflects the relative merits of the two coins and sometimes it shows there were only two participants that wanted the coin.&nbsp; The worst scenario is when there are two equal coins and three bidders.&nbsp; Someone has to decide who pays more and who buys nothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
