Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1284277, member: 25270"]It's true that weird things happen on eBay. This is the first time I've really benefited from it. I've had plenty of coins sell for less than I thought they should have because I set a low starting bid and only one person bid. This was back when only 99 cent starting listings were free. Now they have more special listing deals (usually on Tuesdays) so I wait for those days and list for free or reduced amounts. I've had plenty of times though where I kept bidding on a certain type of coin, and always getting outbid, and then eventually I'd find one listed and no one else would bid and I'd get it much cheaper than all those other ones went for that I got outbid on. This happened recently with a 1956 British farthing. Maybe the person who just had to have one at any price got theirs and now there's no one left to bid against me.[/QUOTE]
