Ebay Bids... The Ones That Got Away

[beauanderos]

Neilgin1 the roll i regret LOSING, ie being outbid on Ebay was a roll of UNC 1936 Washington's, it was my own fault, getting cute with nickels, shoulda of went balls to the wall, put an outragous snipe on....coz i think the winner, got it for 18X, or 19X, when UNC rolls were trading 12X...oh well.

I'll start a new thread on Neil's comment, rather than hijack the thread where he originally posted this comment. Don't we all regret losing a particular bid? I remember about a month ago, when silver was 17X face, there were a series of BU Walker halves rolls (all Philly) 1947, 1946, 1945, 1944, etc down to 1938, already sold by the time I noticed them in completed sales. I was bidding about $185-190 on BU halves rolls at that time, and these had gone about $235-250. There was one left (1937) with the current bid at $225, so I sniped a bid thru Powersnipe at $275, hoping I'd get it but knowing that I was overpaying if I won. Covetousness is a sin, after all. But I got outbid... and boy did I get out bid, it was over $420 when I checked with about thirty minutes to go, I never checked back after that. I'd love to have some of those BU Morgan rolls I see on there as well, but not gonna bid into the $600's for them.

Oh yeah, Dr. Ernesto Nacianales? He's the new Mexican dentist that just started practicing in Parkersburg. You aren't going to let him get em that cheaply again, I hope. Bid the sucker up and then drop it.

How did you come up with Parkersburg? Pretty random stuff there Ray....nice work

Ray researches us all, he google earth's our addresses, trust me, he's a real weirdo.

But, despite that, he's still in my will (my heirs really don't have to worry about that though).

It's called boredom, plus I'm at work getting paid for this. Oh, and Eric? If you ever have a traumatic amputation of a finger while doing yard care, don't worry. I'm willing to give you one of my finger's any time, night or day

Eric was talking about this type of behavor form his guys just the other day......not you to now Ray?

[Thogey]

He might have an ass to wipe. Maybe even his own, and he's ignoring his responsibilities to harass we, who are not on the clock.
