<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1149099, member: 27832"]I bid on sales like this whenever I'm quick enough. Once the seller backed out, and I didn't ding him for it; once a seller messaged me in a panic, saying her daughter had listed it at the wrong price and she hadn't discovered it until after she shipped. In that case, I could've left her out to dry -- it was in the mail, I'd paid the agreed price, there was nothing she could do -- but I sent her more money anyhow. I'm really not in this to rip people off, but if they list at a low value, I do them no favors by letting someone else buy it instead. (I'm pretty sure I've seen some of the lots I missed get relisted later by a couple of the "big volume" eBay sellers -- I think they're trolling for bargains like I do, then flipping them.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So far this week, I've landed 11 silver Washingtons for $45 shipped, 2 1921 Morgans for $45 shipped, and a 1923 Peace for around $23 shipped. I'd like to buy in bigger chunks, but you have to grab what you can when it appears.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
