[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 6114214, member: 16729"]I'm sure that I won auctions over people using "sniping programs" when I had "sniped" coins that I really wanted using my max bid in the last few seconds by hand. I don't know why I won and their cool little AI didn't. I think it has to do with your own "large" bid done in those last few seconds that doesn't give their program time to zap a counter. I mean, we all use the internet at ~about~ the same speeds, so... perhaps a program won't help you unless you place a "massive" max bid? Not sure how that works exactly. Perhaps I was just bidding against people who weren't willing to lay the money on the coins that I was. After looking at some final values for South Korean coins at eBay this weekend (see below), I think I'm: 1) glad my initial collection goal for my S. Korea collection is completed, and 2) starting to get priced out of the market for these coins(!) [ATTACH=full]1245076[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
