<p>[QUOTE="biggiej, post: 709289, member: 19474"]Beings my Chicago bears had a bye and seeings how my Soc. Sec. check comes this week I decided it was a good afternoon to sit down and do battle with the Ebay snipers. I have been trying to pick up either a 1993, 1995, or 1997 silver proof set. The 2 latter being more expensive but i need these 3 for my collection. I decided to shoot for the 1993 and was trying to get it for under $17.00. I was being continuously sniped in the last 30 seconds all afternoon until I found one for 17.00 with 2 minutes left. Bids were going up in .50 increments, so i typed in 19.00 and waited till the last minute and at 30 seconds hit the bid button and the snipe could not get in this time quick enough & time ran out & I got it for $18.50. it was more than I wanted to pay but I was tired of getting beat all afternoon and wanted to end up with something, and it was still $6 cheaper than I have been able to find it retail. I am exhausted!!!!:rolling::rolling:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
