<p>[QUOTE="Taribor, post: 1727556, member: 41027"]I nuked my teletrade account last year over (in my opinion) ridiculous buyer fees, but I saw a coin I really wanted, so I started a new account. I put a max bid of $3600 on a 1995W Silver Eagle........all day, the bidding was at $3300, right up until the auction closed. Right at the close I refresehed my browser, and bidding was still at $3300, So assumed I won. An hour later I had not received an invoice, so I looked up the coin, and sure enough.....$3700, exactly one bid higher than my max of $3600. Short of miraculous timing, that seems a bit odd to me. Has anyone else experienced this after the "new and improved" teletrade supposedly said "you will never bid against a hidden reserve?" Best case, a bidder slid a (very) last second bid in and the online auction software teletrade uses sucks as it never updated....and worst case, there is something fishy going on. Either way it re-confirmed my previous thoughts re: Teletrade these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
