While ebay buyers sleep, there are treasure to be found

Just picked up these four Coins for less than $200, Can't wait to get them in hand and check out the 25's. The only one pictured looks XFish to me. I may have the steal of the month.image

    Even though this is very true for the discerning Darksider open to opportunities, and congrats on your find, image, ebay is not what it used to, not for sellers, nor for buyers either. The other day, I was informed that a rare 19th century Greek copper exceeded 2000 euros ( ~$2900) after spirited bidding on French ebay! image The lads have set email alerts from every single ebay or other online coin source on the planet and it's hard to compete. Where are these people when we sell? image

    Well everybody was not sleep on a MS-62 1925 Canada 5 cent last night, it went off for $2700+, it takes a lot of hunting to find the real opportunities. I missed out on 3 1928 Peace Dollars last night, I was the under bidder and they went below value,but not a steal. I guess it is a crap shootimage

    That's crazy. Do you have a link? Anyone want mine (PCGS MS62, not a bad coin, but a somewhat weak strike)?

    That 1922 in the lower right looks like it could MS63/64. If so then cha-ching!

    The 1925 looks F-VF hard to tell from the glare.

    Please post pix when you get 'em.

    I don't understand what happened. I followed this auction to the last seconds and swear it went off for $2765. It was on my watch list but disappeared.
    Now he has it up again for a BIN.1925 nicklel
