<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 5001329, member: 80952&quot;]A little off-topic, hope I&#039;m not bothering anyone, but it is somehow similar to the situation in this thread.</p><p>I know a guy, banknotes collector, who is quite rich. His collection is fantastic, I saw it, but it is out of my league.</p><p>He told a lot of people that his strategy, in auctions, ebay or any other sites, is to put a pre-bid that is obscenely high, i.e. if an estimate price for a banknote is 500 EUR he will put a 2000 EUR pre-bid. Or 1000. Or 800. Or 1200. But you can never know.</p><p>This is why when you &quot;fight&quot; with him it&#039;s practically impossible to win.</p><p>A few months ago I participated in an Ebay auction for a banknote and he won it (didn&#039;t know about that). Honest price would have been 250-300 EUR. He won it with about 350 but the &quot;pre-bid&quot; he entered was 1500. </p><p><br /></p><p>To return on topic, as far as I&#039;m aware he is not into ancient coins, so no danger yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
