<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1787514, member: 56859&quot;]Don&#039;t ask me-- I&#039;m the one who recently bid on and won a coin and had no recollection of the event 2 weeks later <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That fluke aside, I typically use Numisbids or Sixbid to make watch lists. I whittle them down, use CNG and other sources to check recent sales prices, narrow it down further, and roughly prioritize my choices for each auction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sometimes I print out the watch list. If there are many things on there, I make a spreadsheet with things like relative availability, recent hammer prices, how badly I want it, my max bid (which sometimes requires a bump) etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m gearing up for the upcoming big auctions. Megatons of things on my watch lists but I will probably only bid on a small number. Because of the sheer volume this month I&#039;m having to get fancier with the organization. Spreadsheet time. Alarmed reminders on my phone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font size="3">[disclaimer: I&#039;m very new to this... my sum total of experience is mere months...so I don&#039;t know much.]</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have frequently seen your handle on coins I&#039;m watching... I would* hate bidding against someone I know <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>[*edited to add the word &#039;would&#039;; to date, I have never knowingly bid against any of you]</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
