[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 560915, member: 12965"]That's a good point! I remember when I first got going on Ebay, I'd keep the entire list of coins up, with the "Ending Soonest" format and I'd browse them, refreshing frequently, until I ran across what I thought was a good deal and then I'd snipe it. I learned pretty fast that was not the way to do it! :goofer: You have to study the coin closely first, which takes time and once you're convinced it's authentic and you have a ballpark grade determined, then you can bid on it, not a spur of the moment bidding frenzy which so many peeps do. CoinTalk helped me so much when I got back into buying/collecting coins and I just wish others would join before buying, so as to save them the grief I went through, as so many others have gone through. ;) So the spur of the moment bidders could have also gotten involved with that one but as I said earlier, that is not the way to do it on Ebay and anyone that bids on a coin because others bid on it, without examining it themself first, well . . . .
