Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 10:46 am This radiate of Constantius I Chlorus sold for $71 with six different bidders going for it. It's not a rare coin and not in an extremely high grade, although it is attractive and it does have a nice brown patina. Bidding war or am I missing something about the coin? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Constantiu...43663.l10137 Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

josephrg Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 11:59 am I believe ebay has made it hard to see the item once the bidding is over. Not sure why they have done this but I have lost many auctions recently and when I go back to check bids the item has disappeared. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 12:28 pm The bidding record shows it sat at $5.50 with a few hours to go when someone bid $7 This was followed an hour later by a bidder with an impressive feedback score (12,000 +) who raised the bid to $7.50 with a whopping bid of $70 Of course none of the others would know anything except that the current bid stood at $7.50 ! Lastly some silly person decided they really really liked the coin and shot the moon which sent it to $71 I would bet money that they 'soiled' themselves and are currently trying to weasel out of the sale I think two people liked the coin and assumed they could guarantee a win by bidding ridiculously high Mr $70 probably is getting a good laugh Nice curiassed bust though ! But I wonder why Mssr "Pavlov" who is shipping from the Netherlands with a feedback score of "deux" is listing this on the US ebay ? Strange Probably a Russian money laundering operation Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 12:32 pm I saw that too and thought it might be the key But I think it may only have been the motivating factor and not the real reason Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 09/03/2018 12:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 1:29 pm Did some searching and a H gamma seems to go for around 50-70$ on vcoins, but the H delta at 150-200$ Edit...More searching....And looking at what has been sold and is out there at the moment,in my humble opinion, I think this person new exactly what he was buying, maybe a collector of the officinas, and he got it for a reasonable price.....Paul Edited by Palouche 09/03/2018 2:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 11:39 pm Thanks for the responses. I don't like the new ebay system where an auction suddenly disappears when it ends, and unless you find the link to the original listing you won't know where it was.

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 4:29 pm Paul; I really don't like the fact the seller just switched his ebay ID. (Until he has 10 feedbacks you can't see who he was before and he does not even have 10 feedbacks yet.) So that is a red flag right there. Report this Post to the Staff
