[QUOTE="Nap, post: 2758243, member: 73099"]My success rates are higher, but it's because buying at auction is for getting rare coins I won't otherwise easily find. I'd prefer to buy more common coins from dealers and skip the commissions. If I am placing advanced bids I typically bid heavy to ensure a good outcome. I dislike this style of bidding, since I fear I might end up winning at my max due to auction house shenanigans. I will do this only when live bidding is not available. If I am bidding live, it's typically taking me away from my job, since European auctions are typically during the morning, so for me to be bidding live I am quite inclined to bid to win. I am not looking for bargains. I'd say my auction win percentage is 30-40% (not including "placer" bids on eBay just to watch an item)[/QUOTE]
