So I'm waiting to snipe a 1921-S Buffalo nickel on eBay. It's a beaut. PCGS MS64 rattler with great luster and no spots.

All weekend, I've lost sleep trying to decide whether or not I was willing to make such a commitment.

The time draws near and I decide that I'm gonna pull the trigger.

20 minutes before the auction ends I boot up my computer. There's only been one bid so far.

10 minutes left and the bidding hasn't changed.

I refresh my screen at 5 minutes and still no new bids.

3 minutes left and I can feel that adreneline rush starting to kick in.

2 minutes and my heart is starting to pound.

1 minute and....

and....

and where did the action go?


DAMN! THE SELLER ENDED THE AUCTION EARLY!

WHY! WHY! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you just hate when that happens..................I think he was feeling the waters..............

he/she didn't want someone to get the coin for the opening bid and possibly thought it would see alot more action.

LanLord

uh, that just hurts.

I was almost as excited as if it were going to be mine. Sorry to hear that.

e-mail the seller and tell him/her you were going to bid in the last seconds and see if they still want to sell it.
