Yeah, I know it was humor and and that you weren't actually asking the forum the question.

I just latched onto the end of your post more to stay on topic and to elaborate on my experience regarding bid rigging.

In my example I explained how I noticed a certain seller was using unfair tactics against everybody, including costing me more money on two transactions. When I got the seller back, that doesn't exactly equal bid rigging on my part.

btw, if I am in the role of bidding on items being sold by another party that would make me a)a buyer b)a seller. I'm not sure where this has escaped you.

Stay happy lifes short.

hello coin people, long time, but had to have my share of this conversation. First off, last wk I bid on two peace -1922 -1924-S dollars. I paid 49 with free ship with the spot price in the low to mid 30's that's how I gage my top bid price.
So imagine my surprise when the 1922 was a 1921! in fair condition, but what the heck? I felt the need to share my good fortune with people who'd do more than mutter, " that's nice hun," sheesh!
Here's what's going on with e-bay and auctions IMO. Many survivalists swear our economy is going totally down the drain and gold and silver are what you'll need to buy a loaf of bread, we have daily ups and downs of the stock market based on wildly fluctuating world economies, adding fuel to the fire, . There are also several documentary type right wing scare videos that instruct people to buy gold and silver to protect their assets. Plus we are in the beggining stages of a hotly contested GOP primary, Ron Paul is right up there and seems to be the only totally honest guy in the running , people are listening to him and he says BUY SILVER... so as more and more people get scared out of their wits, ... you see where I'm going.
I myself am buying more junk because what the heck else can you do with your money right now? Of course, it's not junk to me and I look for coins that appeal to my eye for whatever reason. real estate has been the traditional place but until it hits bottom, who's going to invest in it? at least not yet, buy low sell high and silver is down from the 42$ HIGH SO, ADD ALL THIS TOGETHER, AND YOU HAVE THE ANSWER... AND I HAVE A 1921 Peace dollar IN DECENT CONDITION THAT I PAID ABOUT 25 BUCKS FOR! Sometimes life is good ahe?
