jlueke Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just under! Owch that's gotta hurt. I figured that would happen on this coin. I guess it's better this way, at least one stays within the budget. But I do wonder if the dynamics would be different wth floor versus floor bidder rather than book versus floor.

bill Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 The number of times I've been out bid by $1, $5, or a single increment.......... Sometimes makes you wish you could be there in person, then again, there is the budget to consider. I struck out in Gemini again this year. I guess everything I'm interested in went for new record prices. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I avoid auctions because i get impulsive, and the budget goes out of the window. I'm exactly the same on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one guy who bid on 17 lots on the Triton Boeotian material and he won just two small copper. On the other hand that Robert Bruce went for a relatively low amount.

elizabethann Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I avoid auctions because i get impulsive, and the budget goes out of the window. I'm exactly the same on ebay. I know how you feel. My husband has banned me from ebay, because we all know that females have NO self control, so if I bid on anything, I will put us into bankruptcy. Not that I have ever bought anything for over 20 bucks on there, but there is always the chance. Of course....what he don't know don't hurt him, right! lol!

It's not just females that have no self control, both my father and i have no control whatsoever. I can't tell you them amount of junk i've bought over the years that i never really wanted let alone needed. I just like spending money... lots of money, even money i don't have!
