<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24565759, member: 77639&quot;]Been happening to me a lot lately.&nbsp; I’ll do a final bid a few hours before closing.&nbsp; And my bid is a bit higher than recent sales of the same coin in the same grade and is the current high bid.&nbsp; Then in the live bidding, someone else wins it by going one notch (sometimes just a cut bid … ½ notch) above mine.&nbsp;&nbsp; I always wonder if I would have won if I had gone one more notch in my final bid.&nbsp; But maybe the winner would have been willing to go even higher than that.&nbsp; No way to really know, but it’s frustrating.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t participate in live bidding.&nbsp; Learned the hard way it’s too easy to overpay in live bidding.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m hesitant to go way beyond recent prices because the current run-up in prices may be just a spike, and prices may go down in a year or so.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just venting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
