<p>[QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 3702408, member: 89393"]The only way to win such an auction is to ascertain what a normal, sane individual would be willing to pay for that item then DOUBLE that amount and subtract $1 in your snipe. It is unlikely that you will ever encounter another individual who will engage this tactic. In most cases, the normal, sane bidder will have blown his wad and you will then be able to win at the very next bid increment which will fall short of the double value you placed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin collector bidders on ebay are a strange sort who flock to certain sellers, though. Some coins go for far more than they should, only because the item was sold by XYZ. It's those kinds of sellers that demand a bit more oversight...unless you have very deep pockets. One of my favorite sellers of this ilk is a member here, and it's true that his coins deserve the higher bids they often get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
