<p>[QUOTE="samsara15, post: 789048, member: 21655"]The coin I bid on was an 1814 dime in VG8, which lists at $45, so I might even be outbid before the bidding is over, since S&H plus BP still will only run near $45. However, it could easily have been a major ooops, as happened to you. I imagine a lot of people insert an extra zero now and then, just from typos, on a coin that sells in a high range, and then they can get seriously burnt, or find themselves committed to buy more than they really afford, or even unable to make payment. I'm glad to know that the bidding houses will allow people to back out of bidding mistakes, since typing and human errors make them very easy for anyone to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
