    OK so I see this coin on Eba I think 6 day ago, bid the usual low bid that you know has no chance. But I think why not wont win, but give it a try.
    The other day I get an email you are the winner, not unusual I bid on a lot of coins.
    So it's not a gold coin I know but it still fells like a winner to me. Thought you all might enjoy this anyway. My Total winning bid (one cent)
    Enjoy

    I cant seem to ever get any luck on auctions lately. I always put in my max bid and someone always snipes me at the last second and takes it for just a few cents over my max. It drives me crazy. Nice pick up though

    Well you're not alone, I lost one today for $1 over my bid and I was spending money like a drunken sailor. ;) Bottom line is you got to be at the computer when there's just a couple of minutes left but even that don't help sometimes. :D Just remember, coins are like fish. One might get away from you today and maybe you go home empty handed but if you keep on fishing another one will get caught soon enough!! :thumb:

    Works for me. only I put in my own amount, which is more than the next bid.
    Usually works (10%) of the time LOL

    If you can't be around when it ends, use a sniping program to bid for you with 3 secs left with your max bid then. You might end up winning more. And its the price you were willing to pay anyways.

    Hey onejinx
    Never heard of a sniping program.
    What does it do? sounds very cool

    A sniping program sounds like an exploit, and it sounds like it's against ebay rules. I've done no research, but it's just a hunch. Bots are generally against the rules.

    Thanks man
    I wont bother trying to use one since I thought it might be against the rules,
    and would not know how to use one anyway LoL
    Thanks for clearing that up for me.
