robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 05/31/2017 10:29 pm I am sure we have all pocket dialed someone by accident! Well today I apparently pocket purchased a coin on ebay! I received an alert that a coin I was watching was sold. I went on ebay (at work too!) to look at it when someone stepped into my office. I put the phone in my pocket and left my office. When I returned and took my phone out, I had an alert that I had committed to buy an 1907 large cent in VF condition for $5.10 plus shipping! It wasn't even the coin I was watching so it must have been listed as a similar item. I requested a cancelled order and explained to the seller what had happened and the transaction was cancelled. So thanks to 'maritimemedals' for understanding the situation. I would have paid up if needed. Just glad it wasn't several hundred dollars or more. Lesson learned... Please share if you have done the same... Report this Post to the Staff

I have however recently won a "make an offer" by re-list. I wasn't too happy that the listing expired and they relisted it automatically and accepted my offer on the earlier lot. I didn't think that could happen. Good thing I couldn't find and buy the same thing cheaper elsewhere in the meantime. I was looking when I noticed I had an email telling me to pay. Fortunately it was a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff

A pocket dial? I've had my dog jump onto my cell and INSTANTLY checked it out - then cancelled it. Report this Post to the Staff

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 8:30 pm Lol. I never actually paid for the coin. The transaction was cancelled by my request. Large cents are not part of my collection at all. I collect canadian errors mostly. Report this Post to the Staff
Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 8:38 pm Last year I somehow bid on and won a 1782 Bohemia Gröschl that I could only chalk up to a pocket bid. I think it was on my watch list for "market research purposes" and at some point one afternoon I was notified of being the winner. Thankfully the bid was only about $7 and it fit into my collection, so I welcomed it into the family anyways. Report this Post to the Staff
