I had two coins in my sights on Teletrade last night, one that I've been looking for for quite a while. I ALWAYS bid at the last minute on TT and have done very well there over the years. I fell asleep watching TV and woke up at 10:05....both coins were gone at prices much less than I would've paid!

Just before a snipe - nope.
Of course I guess that wouldn't do you much good with Teletrade, though.

No, it wouldn't. Manual sniping actually works with Teletrade. I've won quite a few coins at good prices much less than my high bid.
After reading the recent threads about auction house shenanigans, I'm confident Teletrade is on the up and up. I realize that the site is often a dumping ground for dealers for iffy coins but there is much wheat to be found amongst the chaff.

If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Last night with one minute to go I threw a 60 dollar bid on a 18 dollar coin, that was at 12 bucks (I think it is a DDR I need) my bid brought the auction up to 15 and right after 9 it showed me 33. Woke up this morning to the email I won at my 60 maximum bid. I really wish there was a way to see the other bids and the times they were made. Hopefully the reason it went for triple the price is that it is the DDR and other saw that. Enjoy
I used to be famous now I just collect coins.
