<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2777889, member: 56859"]That's one of many reasons I don't post my wins immediately. Roma, CNG and another auction company or two have winner bidder names visible until the entire auction has finished. I'd rather not reveal my bidder name to others, not that it really matters since I change my bidder name frequently, sometimes in mid auction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm perfectly happy to take advantage of that lack of privacy though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. When I have time I like to quickly review CNG and Roma auctions to see who won what and to make note of certain bidder names and coins. It helps me understand who I can and can't outbid in future auctions. It also helps to identify dealers who turn around and offer the coins for sale. Knowing what they paid gives insight into their markup and what I might reasonably offer should I decide I want the coin (although if I'd really wanted it, I would have bid the first time around).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
