I'm winning! I'm winning! I'm winning! Uh.....um.....can you tell me what it is I'm bidding on? Chris
Why don't you wait until the last 10 seconds and place your Maximum bid? Keep the price down! I've won 95% of my stuff like that!
I find it very amusing that someone with a nearly 11,000 feedback score get caught up in a bidding war. This may be someone who has spend $100k on a $50k collection.
Depends what it is. Could be worth a lot more unless I am missing something I do see what the item actually is, or he could see a variety or upgrade potential no one else does.
Maybe, but if it's worth $xxx that would be my snipe bid. I do not give anyone the opportunity to raise their max bid.
Yea it was put in a little early, but he also could have put in a max bid when he bid and the other guy is just pushing it up one at a time.
Me too. May he be forever buried in his new purchase. (I'm clearly joking...about this part anyway). On as serious note, you can track someone by their feedback score and pattern of letters/asterisks if you know they won a specific item in the past. I was able to trace one of my favorite coin dealers. Unsurprisingly, we always bid on similar items (and no I wasn't stalking him)!
I find it amusing when they pay significantly more than the other listed coins, just like it. You see this on EBay quite a bit.
Maybe it's just a shill bid trying to push a max-bid up closer to retail? just throwing that possibility out there....
You mean who "won" the lot as the high bidder or perhaps, potentially, the real winner (i.e. the underbidders who are now off the hook)?
No way to know who won (the high bidder or the underbidder) without knowing what they were bidding on. $180.00 could be 10 cents on the dollar or it could be $10.00 on the dollar. It might even actually be a market level bid.
That's why I said potentially. You are right though. It could be a bust coin and the OP fails to recognize the die marriage.
