No reserve and watch this item feature. Lethal combo for scoring bargains on Ebay. Has it worked f

I narrow my search parameters to the series and grading service I want and then use key words like
toned, toning , etc, and then create a -WATCH IT NOW- list in -MY EBAY-. It seems to work for me.
Does it work for you?

    Brian, You're disciplined. I've tried that and then promptly forget I've done so only to later see the coin went for well under what I was willing to pay.

    If you email yourself the auctions and keep multiple windows open on your desktop, that helps.

    You have to get lucky and watch the right coins, seems every coin i put on my watch list ends in a bidding frenzy between 2 people and goes way above what it should. I've been trying to get a PF SAE for under $20 for about 3 months and never found oneimage i guess i just have to keep trying.

    Open three windows on your desktop for PCGS/NGC/ANACS in that series or create shortcuts on your desktop for future reference. It helps me.

    I really liked it when they upped the number of auctions you could watch from 20 to 30.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Dog:
    Is it really that many, I had no idea. I never watched more than 5 at once.

    5? Man you don't find much interesting stuff do you?

    My motto: "Quality over quantity". Precision targeting at bargain prices.

    I don't buy much of what I watch but I'm always running across something interesting I want to keep my eye on.

  • When on the hunt sometimes 30 is not enough. Have to keep post-it notes of when to go back and check watch list to see what's up. Too many times I get busy at the shop only to find out that one got away because I did not check in time.
