Here I was, thinking I could win with a last second bid. when out of nowhere the price just jumps.


http://www.ebay.com/itm/18119784068...refresh=true

I'm 90% sure the buyer is not going to pay, but you never know.

I had a small laugh when it happened, thought it'd be worth sharing

I think that is a perfectly reasonable price for that coin set.

j/k

I have seen prices on another auction site go crazy too, like as ASE for over $100 plus shipping. It may be bidder's frenzy or maybe they actually wanted that set.

Anyone looking for the 2012 pure silver proof set can send me an email before I list it on ebay to save me some fees. Listing later tonight. Open to reasonable offers.

I was thinking after $18 shipping and exchange rate I'd be willing to pay 185-190cnd. But when I saw the jump my dreams were crushed.

The last two bidders have 3 & 11 feedbacks. They are either new/very new to eBay/coin collecting (buying as gifts or some other motivation) OR just shill-bidders. Your pick.

I have to agree, the set will probably get a relist.

besides shill-bidding, could be 2 newer bidders that wanted to make sure they land the set by putting in an extremely high bid. They probably thought that they would only land one increment over a reasonable max bid.

You can never have too much money.

But people with too little brains will soon have very little money.

According to the RFD, one of the collectors bought it.
But why did he (paid?) bid with such a big price?

Edited:
I was wrong. Incorrectly read page 2078 of the RFD.

Silveroid, I didn't see anything about this on RFD. Please clarify what you mean. Thanks!
