[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 96328, member: 1892"]Don't shop in auctions ending between 5PM-1AM EST on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. That's when the wannabees come out to overbid, and the sharks are selling to them. I find Monday thru Wednesday the best days. Learn to snipe. Never bid before the last few seconds of the auction. Shop early enough to research every coin you want before having to commit to a bid. Join Heritage Auctions (free), and have their archive window open at all times while shopping. This provides you with both a photographic comparison for grading purposes, and a guide to what coins of that grade are selling for. Never buy a coin without clear pics of obverse and reverse. Research the feedback of every seller you're considering. I'll be back with more as I think of it.[/QUOTE]
