<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2423729, member: 76181&quot;]Fun thread. Glad to see I am not the only one watching today&#039;s circus. I can&#039;t explain why auctions shake out as they do. I continuously learn more each time......and it helps me little when the next auction arrives. The only thing I can count on are snipers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I had bids across 10 coins today. Going in, I was winning on 4. I raised bids on some of the 6 losers. As each came close to ending I still had the winning bid on 6 of those 10 until I got sniped. Some went for more than estimate, but for less than the seller had paid previously. All went up in price in the last moments. I could not afford them all, but I figured I would get outbid on some portion of them. I just didn&#039;t know which ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, I &#039;won&#039; one coin. It was the lot I wanted most, so I guess that is a bonus.&nbsp; I had the winning bid on the lot thru most of the auction, until the last second when someone tried to snipe me. Fortunately I had upped my bid at the last second in anticipation of a sniper. That sniper added 50% to my cost.&nbsp; I will post the winner in another thread. Dog eat dog. Today I both ate and was eaten.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>One last thing, today I lost my virginity. Yes, the veil has been lifted from my eyes..........I finally got Clio&#039;d.........on a Caracalla. It was as painful as it sounds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite me being the only bidder through the entire auction. Clio sniped me in the last second. I had also raised my bid last moment, but like I said......I got Clio&#039;d. And I got no flowers either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
