<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 681808, member: 16948"]That's a tough one, though I think it's better to pull a coin, rather than get shill bidders to bid it up (not saying at all that you'd ever do this, but that is what some sellers do to make sure their coin doesn't sell too low). I don't sell on Ebay, but I do buy. And if I were to sell, I'd probably set reserves, but as a buyer, I don't like bidding on auctions with a reserve. </p><p><br /></p><p> I also have a sniper program that automatically does my bidding since I don't have time to watch my auctions, so Jack if you pull your auctions, you won't know what you really could have sold it for since most serious bidders do wait until the last minute to bid. My program waits until 4 seconds before the end of the auction to place a bid. So though I don't think it's unethical to pull your coin, I do think it's a gamble either way. Pull it and lose your listing fees never knowing whether you would have made some money on the final sale. Let it ride and you may lose, or you may make a good chunk from all the last minute bidding. Final decision probably depends on how much money you think you'd lose by letting it ride.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
