I'm not a big collector. I don't subscribe to sites that allow one to research
price trends to know the "going rate" of coins. I just do it for fun and assume there are a few more like me on here.
To those who list coins for
auction I think you are hurting yourselves and could probably get higher bids with one additional step and not too many do it. Leave feedback on the buyers.
There was a coin that closed earlier this week that I would have bid more except the high bidder
had no feedback and being the suspicious person that I am I assume the worst - and won't bid if I think there is a shill bidder. I'm NOT accusing anyone of shill bidding but there are so many bidders who either have no feedback or maybe less than a dozen all from the same seller and the first thing that enters my mind is is this a real bidder. If more sellers gave feedback and bidders like myself can see that they have positive feedback by several different sellers then I assume it's on the up and up. Not knowing the "going rate" I will then bid what I am willing to pay. If the high bidder has no feedback I often won't bid more than one time.
Take it for what it's worth but I think you will find more people bidding and bidding higher if the other bidders have a
history here too. I know I would.
