That has a BIN of $100. You really want it. The bidding has hit $85 with 3 hours left to go. You're the winning bidder at the moment with 12 cents to spare. You know you're going to get sniped.
Would you just spend the $100? The coin routinely sells for about that in Teletrade and other ebay auctions and in fact fetches more, not much more but more.
I'll tell you what it is once I decide. It's one of those coins that would inspire a "You idiot it's bullion" or "That's an awesome piece of memorabilia".
All right I bought the second coin the seller was offering. It's a Lance Armstrong autographed PCGS Eagle. I know there is zero special about the coin but I didn't even know there were Lance signed Eagles and I have a complete Silver Eagle Collection. Personally I don't consider it a must have for my Eagle collection, but I love cycling, I think Lance is an American Hero, and I love Silver Eagles.
John I Like Lance now that he ditched Sheryl

on it that will top most if not all snipers. You can't
pinch pennies and expect to win a contested coin.
Better yet BIN IT!

There are two from the same seller, both with a BIN of $100.
I tend to agree. I'd love to save $10 but what a pain in the .....ahem ....... to have frustration and anxiety over 15 bucks.

I just paid 20% over spot for a piece of certified gold I wanted for my type set so join me in the pain.
The BIN disappeared now that the reserve has been met. If I BIN on the other one I may win the one I'm bidding on although I doubt it. I think I'll go ahead and buy the other one and hope I get sniped.

In any case I've seen coins where I was willing to bid beyond the original BIN to get them. Just didn't see them in time.

Not if the bids are less than the reserve amount.
I spent 10 more bucks but didn't have any of the drama of the snipe and of course had I been bidding it could have went higher.

<< <i>The original coin I bid on just sold for just over $92. I bought the other one the seller was offering BIN for 99 and $4.50 shipping.

The chase is 90% of the fun JJ, but if I really wanted the coin I would hit the BIN button.
