So you think it's a shilling situation?


Not schilling, but there has been a very noticeable increase of non paying buyers and buyers canceling orders on ebay this year. That said I think they'll pay and be happy with a nice looking coin, but they were saying they think bidders got carried away and will back out

Agree, not a shilling situation. Both bidders aren't rookies, but maybe don't know the value. That's hard to believe. It's a tough coin and usually goes for retail at $1000 max, even a 64 only goes for about $2500. We might be seeing that one again soon.

With the price run up as far as it had, I didn't expect there to be any sniping activity, but I was wrong. In the last 10 seconds, the same two bidders ran it from $2,500 to $3,750 when all was said and done.

Lovely coin, but I'm sorry, that's nuts.

Although I suppose if you make 6 or 7 figures and you really like the coin, what's a few grand to get what you want?

These are the types of auctions that make sellers dance the Snoopy dance.
