Default Am I missing something here?

Posted By: Scott Gross

I agree with all, on all.

But to answer your original question (on final price and restating Dennis' point): Both high bids were snipes. So you have two guys thinking "This cards going to go for about X (X = $250 + ??). I'm gonna put in a snipe of 2X. No one in their 'right mind' will go anywhere that high.* So, I don't have to worry; I'm gonna win; I might even get lucky and get a good deal."

* Well, they were wrong ......


((( I did it once, long ago, and ended up paying 200 for a 50-75 card. Then had the other dumb sniper contact me and offered 100 for it !!! Live and Learn )))
