USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 12:59 pm There's a coin I want to bid on being auctioned by David Lawrence. I've only ever bid on ebay. I want to know if there's anything I should know when dealing with DL. Everything seems to be cut and dry. As per their website they accept PayPal and I must pay my bid price x 1.15 (BP) plus $10 for shipping. Is that pretty much it or is there more I should know? Report this Post to the Staff

USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 1:26 pm Thanks, Dave. I actually just got on the phone with them. It was quick to get through and the gentleman on the telephone was extremely polite and professional. I'd love to give them a try. Any insight on their hammer price trends? In other words do you usually have to pay top-dollar to win an auction? The one I'm interested in is bid almost to my max with 7 hours to go. Report this Post to the Staff

USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 2:54 pm Well, I do have one complaint. The coin I wish to bid on is bid up to $1900. The next increment is $2000, which means we're now bidding in $100 increments. That's quite a jump. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 4:09 pm oh yeah the auction thing on there is crazy. I do like how if someone bids within the last few minutes it gives the auction 5 more minutes. Stops all of the sniping Report this Post to the Staff
USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 4:40 pm I bet the crazy $100 bid increments also stops the sniping. I'm still on the fence about paying $2300 for the coin I'm looking at and that's the next minimum bid. If one more person bids that totally shuts the door on me because I then would have to pay $2415. In fact, I'm confident if I bid right now nobody else will. Report this Post to the Staff
