Agreed on Larson comments at beginning of this thread in 2018 - every bathroom should have a Larson book somewhere in it. Worth looking at afresh. Still wonderful. Here is a pic my mate in Nashville sent me: -

Has Ebay changed its closing process ?

Hmm..why would I worry if outbid? Someone wants to pay more than me? I let them have it. Paying more than you wanted, often with a buyers premium, for something that everyone has seen, is how you lose when you think you are winning. Real fun comes from finding something really cheap as a surprise in the bottom of a box etc., and you also then have a story! -

I use a refreshingly simple system- I bid what I feel is my maximum when I see the listing. The last minute bid to be 'clever' bores me - I have a very full busy life and I don't need to turn an auction into a mind game with strangers. 'Snipe' - 'Stealer' - what do those names convey? There you go. -

I only have experience of toning bronze, but an important factor must be common to silver, namely that of temperature. I have a lamp that's on a lot, with a compact fluorescent lamp in it, mounted base down. If you slide a penny that someone has 'cleaned' in between the glass coils, it's supported by its edges, and sits at a nice temperature, and re-toning is surprisingly fast, and even on both sides of the coin. Acetone first is a good idea.
