<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 900920, member: 66&quot;]No it is NOT obvious that the winning bidder was not using a bidding service.&nbsp; Yes, he placed his bid 6 1/2 minutes after the loser put his $276 bid in, but only 3 seconds before the end of the auction&nbsp; He put in a snipe bid of $281+ whether he did it manually or with a service doesn&#039;t really matter.&nbsp; Lets just say he did it manually 3 seconds before the end of the auction.&nbsp; When he chose what he was going to bid, what did he see the high bid was?&nbsp; If the losing bidder HADN&#039;T already bid he would have seen $103 something.&nbsp; Do you really think he would have bid a lot less than he did ($281+) if he saw a $103 bid rather than the $110.50 high bid that he actually did see because the loser bid early?&nbsp; I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; I think he had that $281+ planned long before it was executed.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the fact that the winning bidder had placed a $77 bid six DAYS earlier is immaterial.&nbsp; He could have been doing that just to add the coin to his watch list, and possibly just testing the waters.&nbsp; No this was a case of a &quot;Gotta have it!&quot; bidder up against a &quot;Gotta have it! sniper. so it sold for crazy money and would have no matter when the loser placed his bid.m[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
