Has anyone sniped an auction the same time someone else has and paid way stupid money for a coin?
Example, Russ and me both want a 1964 proof set with an AH Kennedy, I snipe at 3 seconds with $50 as my high bid, and Russ Snipes at 2 seconds with $75 as his high bid. But then Don outsnipes us both with $80 at 1 second and Don get the proof set for $76! Come on fess up!!

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

Unless we're talking butt-kicking cameo coin, you're going to win every time bidding that kind of money.

Well, even than the scenario doesn't work. If it were that good, I'd have gotten ahold of the seller and got him to close the auction early and sell it to me in order to eliminate you and all other competitors from the equation.
Bwuahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
BTW, this actually did happen on a Frankie I was sniping. Several forum members were going after it. One of them and I pulled the trigger at exactly the same time. It said that I'd won, but when I went back to look, he'd beaten me by a buck.

Russ, how was that AH, by the way?
