[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 1585474, member: 34652"]There is an auction I'm watching on eBay, it's for a coin that I really want but the starting bid is set high. While the starting bid is set high, I think it's a fair price for the coin and I wouldn't mind paying it. However, in my experiences with eBay I've noticed that coins with high starting bids almost never get bid on and the seller just re-lists them right away. The dilemma I'm facing is do I just wait until the auction is almost over and just bid slightly above starting bid with a few seconds left to try to ensure I will win the coin, or should I take my chances and notify the seller that I'm interested in the coin and that if it doesn't sell I'll offer to buy at a slightly lower price? I've thought about this a lot and haven't been able to make a definite decision, so I would appreciate some of your thoughts and what you might do in the same situation. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
