Sounds strange saying, but losing bid bigger. As I learn more and have less type coins I need, the ones that I want are higher priced and more difficult to find. As such, they usually are in auctions. I try to get them at a price I can afford, which is slowly increasing over previous high bids, but alas, most times I get outbid. So for me, I have bid up to my max for some coins, but never won one at that price.
However, I have paid more for a few coins then my max bid, but these were bought directly from dealers and no bidding involved.
Winning.

My highest winning was close to 1/2 of my largest losing bid!
I have stretched for some rarer pieces, but just don't have the guts to open up my comfort zone.....

I am still thinking about this. Both are probably pretty close and I suspect that a losing bid was the high bid.
