All I know is that sniping is the best way to bid..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Self made millionaire by 38. Plenty have more but plenty more have less. No help from real estate either. That says a lot about my common sense.
Humble brag is not a good look. Pretty sure there are a ton of millionaires on here as well as those who collect, but are smart enough and humble enough that they don't use that to try and win a debate. Humility, kindness, generosity, charity... are much better traits to have in life versus "I have more money or can bench more than you." Just a though to help with your common sense.

When people throw punches. I sometimes throw punches back.

I have to much S**t; so if you working on sets or are a player/team collector, send me your want list, with conditions desired. Keep in mind I have a another job so please allow me a few days to respond.

You can't do what I have done for a living for over 13 years and have done the production I have without common sense. There is no other way to put it.
Now that we got thru all the commercials...name calling...bluffing...bragging about one's status (to have status in a baseball card society you must own a '51 Bowman Mantle and a '52 Topps Mantle...full disclosure I have no status....and don't tell me how many zeros you have behind your name when determining status...that doesn't count here...please can we get back to the poker game and the last few hands in order to determine who takes home the big pot. The over/under is being set at $50,000 for a 1965 PSA-10 Frank Robinson. At this point in the game...all chips must be left on the table...no more bluffing allowed. I say over $50,000.
sigh, not the snipe "debate" again with Dpeck. I always enjoy your input on other topics, but your view on sniping is simply off base. I'm not saying the majority rules, but at some point if you're the only guy on the side of a debate, you need to step back and really examine your viewpoint.

We will agree to disagree. I will just say everyone who disagrees only snipes so without using other methods how can they say I am wrong? I have dropped bids with 8 seconds, 5 seconds, and 3 seconds and still the same outcome. Highest bid wins.
David, you are absolutely right that a snipe will do nothing for you if you're up against somebody else who has or will place a higher bid than your snipe, whether that person places the bid on day 1 or in the last 3 seconds. You often bring up this scenario, but you're attacking a straw man. The strength of sniping is that it protects against certain forms of shilling (incremental bids, etc.) and eliminates the possibility of placing an early bid and running the risk of having someone else bid it up. Are there any guarantees? Nope. People can still shill a snipe, manually bid past a snipe, or outsnipe a snipe, but what is the advantage of divulging any information (i.e. your bid) until the last possible minute?
However, I agree that we can agree to disagree. Like I said before, I always enjoy your input on the boards. Keep it up and I'm confident you'll eventually come around on this issue

I say over 50k.
No one has ever claimed anything but the highest bid wins. But depending on when you place that highest bid, you will either a) win the auction b) lose the auction of c) win the auction and not give someone else the opportunity to run up your bid. In any case, nothing negative can come about when sniping and in some cases, you may wind up saving money, too.

It's a lot more complicated than that, Mr. W2.
You have trolled my posts for years. It's all good. Honestly guys like you make the message board fun for me.
Bench is nothing like it used to be but guns are blazing.
Not bad David, but you need to work on the triceps to balance out those biceps...
First a humble brag about the W2, and then an arm selfie when asked about his bench? This has to be a troll post right? Over/under on an ATM receipt showing the checking account statement has to be pretty high.
Arm pic yes Kendall. W2 statement in response to having no common sense no. Your W2 if your an employee is your score card or report card and in the real world it matters.

The only good deals I've gotten on a ebay auction was dropping a big bid early. I figured it was due to a snipe failure. Happen a few times.
(Back to popcorn)
I've tried that before. It requires another bidder to mostly expose your high bid.
I have a secret strategy that I will now reveal for the first time ever. It's guaranteed to work every time. Sometimes, I use the buy it now and for some reason, I've won every single time. It never fails.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me you actually entered a bid that wasn't a snipe???? What the heck is wrong with you???
Whoa, calm down, man.
I'm just joking.
You guys, I really like
your guys' setup up here.
What is your problem, man?
My problem? I don't know.
I don't have a problem, Dale.
Actually, I have the opposite
of a problem:
I made over 550 K last year.
How much did you make?
It's not about money.
No, it's not about money.
Well, for me,
it's a little bit about money...
...and I made
that much money last year.
I am the VP of the biggest...

company on the Western Seaboard.
Okay? I haven't had a carb
since 2004.
Check these out. See these?
See these boys?
