<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 40381, member: 1779&quot;]CoinJoe, I neglected to congratulation you on a great buy! I&#039;m in the process of auctioning some very miscellaneous (read: junk) coins I bought in a grab bag. I started them off at one cent (shipping only $1.45) and, surprisingly, four of the five have bids (they end tomorrow = Sunday). One is still at one cent and another hasn&#039;t any bids at all, but three have gone up to a few dollars. For the ones still at one cent, this would be an opportunity for a sniper to nail them cheap. I&#039;ve found that once someone places a bid, then others start feeding on it and it sometimes gets into a frenzy. But for these coins, at least they&#039;re going to someone who can use them; it doesn&#039;t matter that their sales isn&#039;t gonna really net me any real money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should also mention that I am also susceptible to bidding frenzies, so sniping is also a means for controlling my urges. On occasion when I have a snipe in for a coin (or whatever), I&#039;ll watch the bids very closely. As the end approaches and I&#039;m refreshing the page every 14 seconds (my reload time), I can feel the adrenaline rush. If I&#039;m not outbid or outsniped at the last second and I win the coin, I have a few moments of physiological elation; if I lose, I go into brief chemical depression accompanied by rapid heartbeat. In other words, win or lose, I get a kick out of auctions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
