Why would this person keep outbidding himself??

    His bidding pattern is definitely odd. But I would be more concerned about the coin. Is that the "drunk date" verison?image

    He was bidding to hit the reserve.

    He was bidding against the reserve which has such disappeared since he found it.

    Did he make the bids? Or has some one else "tested the waters" and then withdrawn his / her bid in order to find out what the max was?image

    It doesn't appear that this coin was offered with a reserve price. I also wouldn't call it an UNC with that many rim dings and wear on the lower hair curl. I don't know...$140 seems a bit excessive to me...L

    edit to add...Doesn't the term "Reserve Price Met" appear once the reserve has been met??

    This page says "Reserve Met."

    Unless it's just bad lighting and imaging, I don't like the color of this one at all.

    "Reserve Met" is on the Bid History page.

    I know I've seen it there before. Maybe they redesigned it to not show a met reserve on the item's main page?

    Ebay is cointinuously changing things so much that I try to ignore things that I don't really need to know. --Jerry
