<p>[QUOTE="NumisRookie, post: 2317593, member: 76195"]So I had an epiphany I think. And, maybe this has been thought about before and talked about and I'm just the last guy to try it, but, the biggest problem with selling coins on eBay is that people don't bid anymore over the duration of the listing. Most people try to snipe the coin on the last few seconds. So, my idea is to set the price at the minimum you want to sell the coin for or just what you would love to get and leave it there until the last 24 hours. If someone bids then yay. You got at least that. If nobody bids(usually what I see) then for the last 24 hours you could drop the price a little bit and get the snipers watching the coin. Then, in the last minute you raise it back up to what you want. </p><p><br /></p><p>Snipers have already decided their top dollar that they are going to put in. </p><p><br /></p><p>You're just making sure you get what you want. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've sniped lots of my purchases.
