<p>[QUOTE="bhaugh, post: 1801455, member: 36379"]Well, I for one like to put in my max limit and wait it out. Generally if you put in a bid for what it is actually worth even if someone tries to snipe you still stand a good chance of winning. When you won't win is when you put in an optimistically low bid and hope it doesn't reach it's full value, or someone overpays (at that point let them have it). I pick a price point on a coin that is the Maximum I am willing to spend and then I stick to it. Is it frustrating to get outbid in the last second by a few dollars? Sometimes yes, but at the same time in prevents me from getting into a bidding war and/or spending more that I wanted or more than the coin is worth. Too many times people get caught up in the thrill of the moment and end up doing more harm to themselves than good. If i see an auction at the last minute that is within reason, i'll throw in a Hail Mary at the last second, but usually i just set my max bid and walk away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
