What do you think about it??

 

[DFX DAVE in M.D.]

It is a nice coin for sure. I doubt it will hold at $51.00. I sell things on E-Bay, there are a lot of last second and last minute bids that get the item.

I don't think it will hold at $51.00. And, I do think that there are several, maybe more, who are going to put in their bid for it in the final 10 seconds, hoping that they will be the lucky one to get it in time, and others won't quite make it. (Maybe me, too.)

It's worth what the market will bear for it. I liken coins to rare baseball cards. Sure, it may 'book' for $180.00 on the high end but that doesn't mean someone will give that amount for it.

I had a super rare football card autographed by Barry Sanders with 4 baloney sliced chunks of face mask inserted into the card. It was serial numbered to 25...only 25 made. It 'booked' for $600.00, (high). I made less than half of low book on it.

I know that old coins and ball cards are completely different within the realm of historical importance and collectability but I just wanted to drop my 2 large cents in there.

It IS a nice coin and I almost considered bidding on it

...and now that the auction has been advertised I'm sure a few more will bid on it as well!

You better put your highest bid in on the last 6 seconds of the deal. If it gets close to it's 180 dollar tag. forget it.

Is this your item? If it is not, I sure would not advertise a good deal on something I might bid on. Just my opinion.

sure not bad,but remember the chinese are making counterfit coins that look real,thats why i would go with pcgs,or ngc grading co. but they just had a 300,000.00 coin incapsulated turn out to be counterfit! FBI they locked tHE GUY UP.but still they wont come after a 100.00 coin. good luck

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

I am one of those "snipers" that bid in the last 10 seconds. (people always did it to me, so I learned how to be good at it).

It's a nice coin (no, I'm not bidding on it).

I doubt it will stay at that price, but, I will never bid on a coin that has been cleaned. It always seems to limit what its worth. (made that mistake once).

But, I'm sure, like everyone says that, in the last 6-10 seconds, someone will come out of the woodwork with a bid.

That's a nice coin and I don't have any bust coins.... I'd bid at the last minute up to $80 or so, good luck ! Don't worry I don't have $80 to play with.

Keep @ it and HH !!

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

And, if you have a high-speed connection, you can make your bid, and hit "confirm" during the last few seconds.

Good luck, hope you get it if you want it!!!

Rando,

You are right about a couple of things. (this is not Ebay) They now have programs that can actually slow down or stop your bid if you are sniping or even just bidding. They have programs that can hack into an auction site - any auction site - and find out what the high bids are, so they can go a penny over and win.

At least Ebay still has a way to stop some of the issues you are speaking about. You can mark the areas that say - only buy-it-nows, or no used, all new, the areas closest to you (if you are worried about large shipping costs for a large item), and many other things, depending, of course, on what you are looking for.

But, no auction website is the same as it was 10 years ago. Yahoo's is gone. A coin site that I used to go to only has "buy it now" prices, heck, even the government auctions are different - I get ticked with the "no reserve" crap. Most of them start the bidding at a certain price - well, that's a reserve price. (to me, anyway - if I have to start at 10 bucks or 100 bucks - then the reserve is 10 or 100 bucks. If it was no reserve, I could start at a penny, or whatever).

I paid good money to have access to certain auction sites - and most of them are now "minimum price". And people get auction fever. It's worse than gold fever. Whether it is ebay or your local auction, I have seen people pay more for an item than they could buy it at any store. (and I'm not talking about antiques).

The programs that stop electronic bidding are illegal, but they have roaming IP addresses, so, they cannot track them down.

Heck, I started "sniping" (not with the electronic stuff, but watching the end of the auction) because I never got an item I wanted.

I did not realize they were involved with the development of such programs.

One of the things that Yahoo did right - was the extension of the auction, if there were still people bidding.

I think that would have helped everyone.

Im a seller (and insist on Making money on shipping and all) I liKe ebay, as a buyer I still buy. Its up to me what I want to bid, Or sell at buy it now. Its all fair. snipping and all. I would like to see extended time on auctions. But who cares its a game we play.

I see the coin went for 78 Bucks, Good for someone. they got what they wanted and were willing to pay. I bet the sellers Happy also. Both parties are happy, The perfect deal.

We've gotten a bit off track but I wonder what it sold for. No need to reply or PM me on this as I was watching that item and will check it later.

I have sold quite a few items on eBay, especially recently. I started an auction for 2 fully stuffed tackle bags at 99 cents, no reserve. There was over a thousand dollars worth of lures, (some vintage) and equipment. I made about $140.00 total.
Point is, I know what you all mean. eBay is not the same as it was ten years ago, or even five.
I have lost money, (tackle box, grrrr!) and have been pleasantly surprised as well. It's all evened out I suppose but I enjoy starting my auctions at 99 cents with no reserve, and no gimmicks such as 'free shipping' or 'buy it now'. I love looking at them every day to see how many hits I've gotten, have I any new 'looky loo's' watching my item, and ultimately, do I have any new bids?
I guess I'm old school.
