<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1445611, member: 15199&quot;]Why didn&#039;t you throw in a higher bid to start with. Your max bid is not shown as current until you exceed it?&nbsp; I am a 3 second bidder, but I have carefully calculated what my max will be. By waiting until the last 3 seconds, I can&#039;t 2nd guess my self and make a stupid overbid. If a person can&#039;t calculate the value, they are bidding emotionally and would possibly lose even more money if the auction was extended. </p><p><br /></p><p>I often lose out even at the last second as someone thought it was more valuable to them, but I can&#039;t whimper about it as I made my highest offer, and if that bidder wanted to offer it to me for what they paid for it, I could easily say no. Bid what you mean and stick with it.&nbsp; True with coins, gems, art, etc. and at Ebay, HA, Stacks, Coin Show auctions, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
