Do you bid on coins in auctions, just because you like to bid.?
Geez...I do...
Talk about obsessive compulsive. I'm not even gonna say how many I have bought by accident.
I'm a disgrace.

Considering the nice coins in your collection, I bet those were some expensive accidents!
I sometimes get caught up in the excitement of bidding...but not often. I usually can't afford the kinds of coins I would like to bid on anyway - and thankfully I know, understand and accept that.
The ones I mentioned you wouldn't believe! All were subsequently sold...and never better than a break-even.
The only coin I own that was remotely an "accident" was my low-ball bid on the 1920-S MS64 Saint. It happened at FUN 2007...I never expected to buy it at that price, but when I did I was blown away! People just fell asleep on that one.
One just sold for 20K more this week.

<< <i>I bid 10k on a Mercedes once. I wish I won that by accident. >>
HAHA I did & WON, now wish I hadn't.
Bought a 1966 230S on eBay a few years ago for $2,500. By the time I had it transported to me & the _numerous repair bills I have over 27K tied up in it & it STILL looks like a "junk-yard-dog"..
Like using your home equity loan for REALLY big coins.

Let me call my wife, the mortgage broker, and see if she'll set that up.
