<p>[QUOTE="Agilmore01, post: 2170694, member: 45687"]I have to compete against these bidders all the time. I try to use their strategy against themselves. Just last night, an item was ending on ebay. I had put in a $70 bid from the beginning, even though it was lower than my max. I was the high bidder for the whole auction with multiple retracted bids against me. I then set my snipe for my full amount. The "bad" bidder thought they knew my price and bid just over my old max. When my snipe came in, it trumped his. Got it for cheaper than I thought. It was a coin that Heritage auctioned on their own website in February. Then put it on ebay for a higher BIN price a few months later, which didn't sell. Then they put it as a $0.99 auction. I ended up getting it for less than both of the previous prices. This is the second time I have done this and came out way better than buying on Heritage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
