Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1329464, member: 25270"]If you bid on a lot of auctions you notice these patterns after awhile. I'd see that I was always getting outbid on auctions at the last minute, so I realized what was happening and started doing it too whenever I can. I find something I like, then set it to "watch" it and go back when there are only a few minutes left. I'm more likely to win and to pay a lower price. It's just something you need to do. Something else I've noticed for buy it now: I'd see a lot of coins I wanted but I thought the buy it now price was just way too high, so I'd pass them up. But as time goes on, I see that the same coin is still there as weeks go by. So I figure, the seller probably wants to get rid of this coin by now. So often I send them a private message, and I'll say "Krause lists this coin at 75 cents and you are asking $5 for it. I think a fair price is $2.50. Would you consider an offer?" Nine times out of ten they take the offer, and I get what I want at a fair price, and the seller still makes some money.[/QUOTE]
