[QUOTE="COCollector, post: 2702425, member: 76108"]I have 3 strategies for Heritage auctions. Strategy #1: I set an unrealistically low "Secret Maximum". If I win, great! But that has never happened -- I'm outbid before Live bidding starts. Then why bother? I like that Heritage sends me an email reminder. Then I bid Live if it doesn't get too pricey. Strategy #2: Set a "Secret Maximum" that is really my maximum. Then I watch the Live bidding. Or sometimes I don't watch. Doesn't matter -- my maximum is locked-in. If I'm outbid, game over. This is not a Live bidding strategy. Strategy #3: Live bidding only. Fun & exciting. Live bidding can go quickly -- especially if you're not accustomed to the pace. Regardless of your strategy, be prepared! Thoroughly research the coins that interest you. Recent auction results are helpful -- for starters, Heritage has a searchable database. Enjoy![/QUOTE]
