What am I missing that prevented anybody else from bidding on this auction? I sniped it with a few seconds left -- almost missed the close, in fact -- but nobody else bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller runs a <i>lot</i> of coins, and has stellar feedback. So I don&#039;t expect to get shortchanged or SNAD, and I don&#039;t expect those shiny Walkers to be original-surface or that 1928 Peace dollar to lack a mint mark. But why did I get this lot for ~60% of melt?&nbsp; $150 isn&#039;t <i>that</i> high of a starting bid. Maybe all the bidders who can do math are elsewhere tonight, and I should see what else I can snipe...?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
