Is any one else as goofy when it comes to auctions

IrishMike

Found a coin in a relative new series for me to collect in the ANR auction. I searched all the auction sites for previous sales, reviewed the sheets, did a fair amount of studying on the series, the year and mint mark etc. Stuck a stupid maximum on the coin, visit the site a half dozen times a day to check on the bidding. I even downloaded the photo and cleaned it up a bit to see why it wasn't graded higher.

I am sure there are some things I am forgetting to mention. Come on fess up am I the sole lunatic on board here?

If you have not had someone look at the coin in person for you, you have not done it all.

IrishMike

Dang RYK you are right I haven't done it all. Dicky it ain't copper so fergitaboutit.

You should see the coin yourself before bidding. If you have a trusted dealer .... get them to look.

Let me know what it is - I'll see if I can swoop in on it if it's nice

Oh, the answer to your question?

No. Maybe. OK, probably most of us

Been there, done that! It's even worse when I'm waiting on grades to post

Seems pretty normal to me.

sounds like you're getting the maximum enjoyment out of the hobby !
and telegraphing to everyone that if you're bidding on something, it's worth paying attention to ?
