<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8335207, member: 116145"]I won an auction last fall for 10 ANACS graded Kennedy 40% halves. The relatively new seller (based on feedback) thought he would get more bids with a gimmick - he put little pieces of Post It note to cover up the actual grades (so I obviously guessed "Details") so it was a MYSTERY??? auction and it got almost no attention - the coins looked pretty good in the pictures, so I took a flyer on it for a bit under $80 plus shipping. He contacted me after the auction to say that he wouldn't follow through as the price was far too low. I responded that he had set up the auction so that I didn't know exactly what I was buying and that he should do what was right - he did, and I did very well, 2 of them were not details, all were between MS 63-67 and most were Details (Cleaned) - but at less than $8 each, I was very pleased and I appreciate that he went through with it. I just looked him up, he's still selling some coins - Morgans, silver quarters and others, his shipping prices are silly, so that's his new angle apparently (he's also got some awesome 8 track tapes!) I feel bad because he'd be better off just running straight auctions in my view, but to each his own. It's too old an auction to get any of the pictures, except the little picture on my old order -</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1477764[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
