<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1842864, member: 3726"]Yes - you can bid during the live auction. I have never used bid protection - which from what I read will bid one full increment over your max bid. During live auction I think 1 cut bid is allowed - never really understood that, but I don't worry about it. From my experience there are not any shill bidders - but on things like plantinum nights there are plenty of floor bidders for coins. I really do not think heritage has to use shill bidders - there are plenty of dealers and collectors looking to buy coins. At the same time I have won coins under my maximum several times.</p><p> </p><p>Once you get away from the main auction there are still some lots that will get floor bids, email bids or phone bids. It is actually fun to watch. I have watched some of my bids fall to floor bidders or email bidders during live auctions. It seems to me once you get away from the primary auction a lot of the coins are won by internet bidders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
