Woo! Esnipe helped me get my first "RIP." (At least I thik that is what they are called!

Now I know why people love sniping programs. I just got an ngc 1867 rays shield nickel in ms-61 for greysheet ms-60 bid. I sm sure there have been much bigger rips out there but it exciting to know you can get good deals with those things. (Heck. I don't know if this even IS a rip to most of you guys! haha!) The list of bidders was so long that I know if I had bid earlier I would have lost so this was really fun! I know...blah blah blah...I just thought I'd share the news! This will hold me...until I find that perfect 64 I've been hunting. image

    I'm glad somebody is nailing something tonight. So far, I've been outbid on everything in my snipe list.

    Hmmm....Nailed a MS67 1934 Merc with color and have never used Snipe Programs. Of course this was a lowly NGC coin.

    Got sniped on the Late Date Merc though.

    heh, I learned the hard way... just because you get an NGC Merc at Greysheet bid for the next grade down, don't mean you're gonna make a profit... image

    So how many seconds to you tell the program to do it for you? Mine by default does it at 6 seconds left and I guess that works. What do you guys do? Same thing?

    I went very strong on this NGC graded coin, and still got out-bid.

    In the last few minutes, though, I did manage to pick off three SMS sets that were on my list. So, now I can head home. image

    No Graysheet on 67's. Had to pay somewhat over Blue sheet though. image Think I'll keep it for awhile anyway.

    Good money was bid on the other dime also. Maybe the right NGC coins are picking up a little steam. Shucks.

    I've had good luck doing 4 seconds on my snipe program.
