[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1283934, member: 24633"]Brian, I'm not going to recommend a coin, but I will give you a bit of advice. You're submitting your bid way too soon. At 39 seconds left, you're giving the competition about 35 seconds to place another bid which is more than enough time for them to outbid you. You should be placing the bid with only 2-5 seconds left. That way, by the time your bid is recorded, the auction will be over. Yes, it is possible that the (former) high bidder had entered a max bid greater than yours so that person would win in any event, but if they are trying to outguess the competition and win it as cheaply as possible, your only chance for winning is to be the last person to bid. You will also have to contend with the possibility that some of the bidders are using a bidding service to place "snipe" bids for them. In these cases, you won't even know that someone is following the auction because they enter the information with the bidding service and the bidding service places their bid automatically with 2-5 seconds left. If you want to get an idea of how many people have viewed the listing and how many people are "tracking" the auction, you can go to this site, enter the listing # and see for yourself.
