Ok, Ok do you think there is a certain thrill to win a ebay coin auction? Reasons inside.

Ok I have been watching auctions more and more these days on ebay and things must be tight in peoples wallet or there is a certain thrill of beating someone out for a coin. Let me explain.

Ok I have seen a seller with a 2008 reverse 2007 coin PCGS 1st 69 for a $500+ open with an average shippin/insurance charge of $12. NO bids Then I see a couple of auctions start at $9.99 and bid at the end of the auction $540, $560 so on, why not buy a coin @$500 from a sell with 100% feedback, you know you are still getting a bargain.

Ntxt odd thing sometimes lately I have been seeing people buy 2006 Ase coins $300/$400 over many buyitnows on the bay for NGC and ICG 70's what's up with it.


I know you want to save a buck and get a deal, but getting caught up in a bidders dual is stupid. JMO.

Lots of folks do not understand the effect of excitement when they are a bidder in an auction. Lots of things can cause excitement...risk...inexperience...coffee...the worst is a pretty coin! Excitement is a hard emotion on the wallet when an auction is involved.

I cannot help but think about this thread.

It's good to be excited, sometimes. As long as you can afford it!!!

I do believe, most buyers come to eBay, not only to purchase, but to partake in the thrill of an auction....No thrill in BIN's, and as such, are bypassed in their searches.

Considering that there has been 480 references to obay (I don't want this to be one of them ) out of the last 1540 posts 31.2 % made here since July 1st, yeah I think there are a few here that still get overwhelmed with ubay.
