<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 2343928, member: 58941&quot;]How do those that shop on ebay deal with the stress when they spot a nice rare coin in a group lot which seems to have slipped through the net, with the seller completely unaware of its rarity?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Hopefully in a week or so I can post more details...with the coin on its way in the post?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the stuff that goes through my head (is going through my head) leading up to auction end.... a brief insight into the desire to own the coin that is all consuming....&nbsp; </p><p>I just have a sick feeling in my stomach, like before a job interview or before a first date.</p><p>I&#039;m soooooo not good with excited stress, I hate losing, even though I am gracious in defeat .&nbsp; I reitterate, its not worth a fortune by any means and I am sure someone else has spotted it...right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .........&nbsp; right?</p><p>People are trolling through the listings all the time looking for the occasional rarity hidden away ..... arent they?</p><p>The photo is blurred, but I&#039;m sure its what I think it is.... recheck...enlarge...check again...rotate.....enlarge again.</p><p>One week to go..... I&#039;m not touching the bid button til then, just in case someone else has bid high and my bid bumps it right up before it ends .... then the seller may panic and pull the listing.&nbsp; I am inclined to bid more if I get into a bidding war now, its happened before..... I&#039;ll get dragged in and It will be the desire to beat the other bidder that becomes more important.....&nbsp; so if I wait til 5 seconds to go, then I can only put in my max.....no problem...</p><p>but what happens if the power goes down or the internet freezes and my wife finds me dribbling over the keyboard shaking uncontrollably....</p><p>and I&#039;m supposed to sleep now?????</p><p>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>(apologies, this is what ancient coins are doing to my head!!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
