In my personal experience, the best I've done in a sale was an AU 1891 IHC I sold go from $14 about ten seconds before the end of the auction to $51 at the end. The bidder who was high at $14 had a max of $20, and then two late snipes came in, one for $50 and one for something above $50.
I waited all year for a special $40-$50 item to actually show up on ebay. Two idiot snipers ended it at $150. I was dreading waiting another year or two for another to auction.
But, a month later the same item was back on auction from the same seller, and I won it at $52.

of about $1,300. It was supposed to be Ex: Wayne Miller, and the idiots went to $12,500 plus 15%!

All I can say, is some one wanted that coin really, really bad
