<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25449167, member: 104064"]Yeah I don't know, I only report what I manage to dig up. I've only participated in auctions on ebay, Heritage and GC. For GC it always seemed like once the auction time was done, it was over, and you better get your bid in early. I haven't paid close attention but it seems like there is less opportunity for sniping there. The only thing I can find on their website is "In the sole discretion of GreatCollections, we reserve the right to delay the end time, suspend, postpone or cancel auctions or direct purchase items, without liability of any kind whatsoever to consignors or bidders, including if there is/was an error in the listing, whether made by GreatCollections or not." I have never seen anything like that happen to a coin I was watching or bidding on. They all seem to have their own rules. With GC I tend to set it and forget it. If I get an outbid notice, I might or might not up my maximum, but it's always well before the auction ends. With Heritage I've actually sat and watched for my lot to come up a few times, and got burned once because I didn't realize the increment had crossed their threshold and I was bidding more than I thought. Live and learn on all of these sites, I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
