[QUOTE="NumisRookie, post: 2317643, member: 76195"]No no no you guys are thinking too big of a change in dollars. Let's say you have a coin that is selling for around $100 on a regular basis on ebay. You list it for $105 on a 5 day auction because every once in a while the coin will bring that and you would like to be the guy that sells it for that much too. Now it's day 4 and you've got 24 hours left and there has been 15 views and 2 guys are watching it but there are no bids yet. Now you would drop it to $95 or $97 or something around there. This would cause either someone to throw in a bid or cause some attention and you may get 2 more watchers that plan on sniping it at the last second. So now you've got 4 watchers and maybe 1 guy that bid at $97 and 3 watchers thinking about how they want it and there top dollar they are going to put in at the last second. Plus you've got serious buyers examining the coin a little closer. The idea here is that in the last second your probably going to get a few bids and one of those are going to be what it goes for and hopefully a little higher. If no bids were put in and every single person intends to snipe it then at 60 seconds you change it back to $100. Worse case scenario you lose a dollar or two. Second to worst case you change price and nobody bids that high and you relist it. But I think that there's a really good chance that you will attract a few deal seekers and you will get what you wanted.[/QUOTE]
