Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2896 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 08:28 am I wouldn't say bidding early is wrong - you just didn't bid enough :). I think last minute sniping works if you are messing around with low values - where another bidder might be prepared to go a pound or two more just to see, but when you get to high values or popular coins it's almost certain others will have snipes ready to go so it really is all down to how much you are parpared to bid.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 09:47 am I bid on many many ancients on ebay. With a few very rare exceptions if I 'win' more than 5% of my items I know that I am doing something wrong. Such is the 'price' of being a cheapskate.

kevindurant1 New Member Canada 18 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 6:59 pm Two things I learned. I learned what a good looking roman ancient supposed to look like and the ballpark price. Second thing I learned is to bid properly on ebay next time. I didnt feel like I lost actually. :) Report this Post to the Staff
