[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 24485001, member: 24754"]I don't entertain myself by surfing around and making gamble purchases on Ebay as much as I used to, but there are deals to be had if you enjoy that kind of thing. There were actually 3 occasions where I got such a steal on items that I felt obligated to send the sellers more money afterward! o_O (typically people that were ignorant of what they had and provided low quality pictures) But these days I only follow auctions for NGC slabbed ancient coins. They must be coins with photos in the NGC database that I can use for verification, and the seller must have at least 200+ feedback with a positive rating of at least 97%. Largely as a matter of principle, I do not even look at Buy It Now listings. I'm interested in paying a fairly determined market price for things (auction), and I essentially interpret BIN to mean that the seller wants more than that. Of course, many sellers like to manipulate the system by shill bidding. So, I determine what I'm willing to pay and place the bid as late as possible. I'm sure they still get one over on me from time to time, but hey, that's life :inpain:[/QUOTE]
