<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1553954, member: 26302&quot;]A lot of it is sir that:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Some people just want to be the high bidder, and will continue bidding if my proxy outbids them. Some people just bid this way.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Like Jeff said, it exposes my knowledge of a value of a lot. Hey, I do this too. If I see a lot with a lot of people watching, or see tons of bids, I check it out to see what the excitement is about. I have at times bought these auctions as well. I simply prefer to use my knowledge privately, and not let people know I would be willing to pay $500 if the price right now is $45. If I bid right now for $500, I might get bid up, people see the prices, and then THEY get interested and might bid as well. If I see a lot of coins worth $1000 or more, why do I want to call attention to that auction? I wish to remain silent and put a strong bid in at the end, hopefully winning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do sellers like&nbsp; this? I imagine not, but they would like me not bidding at all a lot worst I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>We aren&#039;t very far apart Blaubart, and I didn&#039;t mean to take this thread OT, so I will stop. Sorry OP.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
