<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 1400521, member: 5787&quot;]I started a thread about my last experience at an estate auction last fall.&nbsp; In the past, I would wait out the crazy bidders who would spend their entire wad at the beginning of the auction and subsequently I would get really good deals at the end of the auction.&nbsp; I always go to estate auctions that show pictures of the coins on-line.&nbsp; I would go onto ebay and check the current sales prices of each coin in a similar condition.&nbsp; It is amazing how close you can come.&nbsp; I would go to the auctions and pounce on the good deals.&nbsp; Usually, I would get about 25% through the auction before I began to get coins at 25-50% discounts.&nbsp; Last autumn, it all changed.&nbsp; Many more folks showed up for the coin portion of the auction.&nbsp; They would continue to bid for 25-50% over ebay prices.&nbsp; It was crazy.&nbsp; I agree with the author of this thread.&nbsp; We have some live ones out there that are crazy to give someone there money.&nbsp; I will commend him if he takes it.&nbsp; Let&#039;s rid the world of these coin folks that swim in the shallow end of the gene pool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
