<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1787597, member: 19463"]Bidding early gets you on the list to be notified so you can see how the lot is going. I don't bid early on coins I want. Those get sniped. If ten of us all bid early on a coin it will attract attention to the lot which is not good for a buyer. You can set a watch on a coin but eBay displays a pop-up that says something like 10 people an hour are watching this lot and I don't want you to know I am interested enough to watch it either. When you snipe, you must decide how much you are willing to pay and not a cent more. If you bid $10 and I bid $11, I should win even if you thought it was a $20 coin. If we both think the coin is $20 but want to be sure we win it, we both bid $30 and the seller smiles all the way to the bank. How do you think some of those CNG lots go for ten times estimate? All it takes is two people with more dollars than sense or a coin that really is worth 10x CNG experts evaluation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
