Anyone do any sniping lately?

I've been watching e-bay for anything that interests me and havn't seen to much lately, anyone around here get any good deals off e-bay in the last few weeks? I've got one coin on my snipe list that ends in about 2 hours but other than that e-bay has been dead anyone else notice this? Post some pics if you did pick somthing up.

    I'm thinking about a snipe in an hour and 15 minutes.

  • It has been tough lately!

    Seems to me some of those "I don't care what it costs, its gonna be mine" types we saw at FUN are killing time on eBay. I had some decent snipes in on some of Papa Tony's Jeffs tonight, snipes that were way higher than bid with 10 seconds to go. I only won one...and it was the only one that it is even possible that I overpaid (of course image

    It has slowed down a bit in the last few days, but here is something I picked up last week: (pardon the quick scan, hopefully I will have my camera situation fixed shortly)

    There are currently over 105,000 image US Coins listed on eBay for auction.

    I assume your definition of dead refers to only your specific interests.

    I have won (6) auctions in the last 2 weeks, some sniped, some not.

    Good deals? A matter of perception. They were good for me.image

  • Good deals sure did - to good to be true - yep. now I'm stuck trying to fix it. Won a 1964D PCGS Kennedy MS-66 for 25.00 perty good considering what they have been going for. Received it yesterday and I get a MS-65, nice coin mind you but not what I bid on. This is my first time to have to deal with a screwed up Auction. I have e-mailed the seller and waiting for reply and waiting and waiting. Sure hope this was a honest mistake. We will see

    I sniped a couple weeks ago, and after I sent my MO, got four emails from people saying it was altered. Got it yesterday, and...it was altered. The sniper was taken out by a decoy.
