<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Topher, post: 282193, member: 8489&quot;]I have a variety of techniques and seem to do well fairly often.&nbsp; Of course, I missed out on a few things, including a few that I really wish I had gotten, but I&#039;ve score some nice deals, sometimes even below face.</p><p><br /></p><p>1)&nbsp; Most people bid on auctions in the evening.&nbsp; Less competition during the day.&nbsp; (Just don&#039;t bid against me!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>2)&nbsp; Bid an &quot;odd&quot; number.&nbsp; Instead of $10.00 or even $10.01, go with $10.11 or $10.34.</p><p>3)&nbsp; Find items that have been miscategorized or poorly listed.&nbsp; I once got 5 nickel dollar coins for $0.99 when they were in the wrong category and the title didn&#039;t mention that you were getting 5 coins.&nbsp; (Actually it was 7 coins as the seller was also throwing in a couple of extra dollar coins that were even further hidden in the description.)</p><p>4) Check the sellers previous auctions.&nbsp; If they aren&#039;t primarily a coin dealer, then you may actually get a nice find.&nbsp; (I once bought 100 wheat cents from an orchid dealer, and one of them was actually an IHC!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, this is ALWAYS after doing my homework and knowing what I I&#039;m after, and what it goes for locally and mail-order.&nbsp; Only then will I bother bidding on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
