<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 335005, member: 3726"]I agree ebay is fine the way it is. If you do not like sniping bid your max one time and forget about the auction. Usually I do not snipe - but I tried Arizona Jacks roll of wheaties and won. And my maximum was a lot higher than I won it at - I was almost disappointed because it did not go higher.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Second I bid on some of his other auctions the same way I usually bid. I put in my maximum and then just watch to see if I win. I think sellers should not list coins at .99 cents if they are not willing to accept .99 cents as the winning bid. What I see on ebay is sellers putting in unreasonable first bids - if they would make it reasonable to start with they would probably get more bids. Now I have at times found a coin I want - placed the minimum bid. Then go out and figure out how much I will bid. Go back either and either up my maximum or have to make a second bid, because my first one was out bid. I lose more auctions than I win, but I usually figure somebody is over paying for the coin. Life goes on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
