<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 166063, member: 3726&quot;]I do not use sniping - what a waste of time and this is only my opinion.&nbsp; I usually decide what I am going to bid on a coin and that is all I bid.&nbsp; The sellers should be grateful - I bid up more auctions than I actually win.&nbsp; AND if I catch a last minute auction I can still get a bid in with in seconds - they joy of broadband.&nbsp; Every now and then I will test the waters with one bid and then come back and bid later.&nbsp; Yes I lose a lot of auctions in the last few seconds(and yes sometimes by a dollar or two), but I am not going to bid some of the ridiculous prices I see just to win some auction.&nbsp; Shooot - a lot of times the coins are already selling for more than I would pay - especially the auctions for like ANI, HCGS, etc. graded coins.&nbsp; I almost always ask for better pictures and am always told they are the best they can do.&nbsp; And sometimes you can find better coins at online dealers for better prices - it is a lot of work before I bid on a coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On my silver eagles I would get an average price for the coins (PCGS MS69 and PR69) I would then figure 80-90% of that price.&nbsp; I would then keep bidding on every coin I wanted until I won.&nbsp; I think the only thing that helped me win was that there are plenty of these to be had.&nbsp; Not like waiting for the perfect draped bust cent or IHC to come along.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
