Accuracy makes better typewritermanship
 

Just to be accurate...wouldn't this be a 1902 or 1903 pin, as the pin itself indicates "Champions 1902"? Looks like PSA has the wrong date on the flip and in their system.

I never actually noticed that. That is kind of... A really good point :p

sean pretty pin ill keep my bid see what happens ,,you always have great stuff thanks octavio

$75

$80

Need to get ourselves a sniping services!

Nice item!

Without incremental bidding I can see why this would be even more needed than on other large auction houses. I wonder how many last minute posts we will see next Wednesday ( :p )

I will do my best to post at exactly the ending time so there is a hard cut off (assuming I am awake and home).

Edit to add all bids through 11:59:59 will be accepted, to get technical the cut off is 12:00:00.

Obviously the pin is predicting the future pennant winners....Obviously! lol

Good luck with this!

90, nice pin

Very cool

$100

everyone hit the hay -----110

i'll bid 125

now at 150

sniped at 275

I guess Bruce out bid himself. I will take the lower of the two. PM sent to arrange payment

Good man to take the lower of the two.

Congrats to the buyer. Quality item

Interesting BST situation & potential problem!

What if someone had bid $175 in between Bruce's $150 & his $275 snipe? Where/what do you set the winning bid at?

There was no incremental bid increase established either.

Then his 275 snipe would have been taken. I think what you bring up is moot because no one actually placed an incremental bid.

Sean--
 

Not moot at all.

I'm considering the impact on ANY future BST sales as there are very few rules here.

On EBay there are built-in bid increments. You did not designate any, so you are saying you would have expected Bruce to pay the $275 even tho the next lower bid was only $175?

That's how it has been in the past. I guess I can cross that road when I come to it.

That is how I assumed it always was. Look at any previous auctions on BST, you are not doing incremental bidding, you are basically making offers with the best offer prior to the cut off time getting the item. Net54 auctions may be called an auction, but I have always looked at it more as a "Best offer" situation with the seller designating the lowest offer they would accept.

That's how it has been in the past. Sean

That is how I assumed it always was. Andy



OK w/ me--I just wanted to clarify AHEAD of any potential future problems. I probably have not been Selling here as long as you 2, and had never seen a snipe bid used before.

Honestly, I am pretty reasonable. I used to do 10% increments so it would likely be something along those lines. We can see if others respond and have had this situation before.

OK , I an ignorant to snipe bidding - In this case Sean got a good number for a really cool pin (and is being reasonable) and we can agree that the snipe bid in all likelyhood didn't affect anything. However, to my way of thinking, high bid is high bid - in other instances a double bid by same bidder with a big spread could scare off a bidder in the middle. In fact I have bid against myself in other auctions by accident. What am I missing? I have had a great experience with members on BST to date and will posting some more interesting items in the future, but I'm thinking high bid is high bid.
