Message:: [QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3708526, member: 86498"]With auctions that have a time limit such as CNG Auction 112 I will usually bid within a few seconds before the closing and what I am willing to pay. Then add an extra few dollars in case of a tie. As an example in 112 I bid $2856 against a coin which was then currently at $2100. If I am unable to monitor the auction for some reason I will throw a bid at a coin and will employ a similar bidding strategy. So basically if I decided to bid on a coin whether the bid was a few seconds or even a few hours before closing my bid would be basically the same.   On a separate part of this thread. I have placed a large number of coins up for auction and I would never bid on them. I would let friends whom I would think might be interested in the coins know that they are now available but otherwise I simply monitor the coins and hope for a good result.   I much prefer to attend an auction in person. I get to see the coins and bid on those I really like.[ATTACH=full]994064[/ATTACH] Metapontion Ar stater 400-340 B.C.
