I was browsing ebay again, and I saw a coin that interested me: An absolutely beautiful denarius of Severus Alexander. I looked at the price, and it was $0.99 with shipping at $3.50. The seller seems legit, and he/she has lots of other nice ancient coins at low prices. What's the catch?

chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 11/26/2014 10:09 pm Many people will start their auctions low with no reserve to get more people to watch it and eventually hopefully bid on it. Plenty of people would swoop in at the last second if it almost actually went for .99 (although I'll bet it's happened at least once.) Report this Post to the Staff
