i put a couple of bids in for the last baldwins auction. one of the items I may have won as i was at the winning price, i guess it may have gone for that price to someone in the room......i bid via sixbid.

Baldwins usually send out their invoices through the post.

Okay...thanks.

[VickySilver]

I love Baldwin's but they occasionally are a bit slower than one might like. I might add that they are tremendously better than the "good ole days"...

Don't spend the money on something else until you're certain. Once having not heard from an auction house I assumed I'd won nothing and spent the money elsewhere only to then get an emailed invoice a few days later. That was an expensive month. It wasn't Baldwin's though, London Coins in fact.

fortunetly its not an expensive piece, so it wont be too bad if it turns up later rather than sooner, if at all

with eBay search in such a pickle it's an excellent time to be shopping! Bargains a-plenty. Not such a good time to be trying to flog stuff though...

That makes so much sense! I've noticed a 50% tail-off for 2 weeks now, it's broke a consistent set of selling stats that have held up for nearly 2 years!

Ebay topped 80,000 British worldwide last weekend. A wide search is far from easy at those numbers. It can only end in tears with sellers going away.

And buyers who can't be a***d. It's 2 or 3 years since I spent much time looking. Every purchase now is something that I initially find within a few pages.

heh ebay, line up a few lowish bids on multiple items, and a few decent bids on other stuff you would like, then win them all, there is plenty there, and lots slip under the radar.

Yes but it's getting too big to find them. As a seller I'd be pretty p*$$ed if much of my stuff slipped under the radar.

I got my invoice through the post a few days after the auction. They do have a few problems though.... check this out

We should all be worried! I have many times watched a coin in one eBay account, then tried to look it up in another, without success! I have even gone so far as to copy and paste the title from one account to another, only for it to be totally unrecognised. AND I have not managed to find it, no matter what searches, unless I return to my other account and view it in 'watched' items!

Another example...young Mr Knipe relieved eBay of a coin recently that I would have bid a hefty sum on had I found it! I search 'Elizabeth 1,' Elizabeth I,' ALL about once a week, plus I check the entire hammered list by category daily, and Clive's acquisition never appeared once in any of my searches!

Good for a buyer, but shocking for a seller!

[scott]

damned people, they spotted the 1862 halfpenny with A die letter i bid on with half an hour to go, da hell?

try changind best match to ending soonest, why ebay set it to best match i dunno, but it obliterates the searches/

I can't make too huge a fuss, as I did just snaffle a '64 3d, which appears at the ratio of 1 in 10 for the 3d Pheon years. Around 200,000 issued originally, so very few in circulated terms, even back then. I could find only two examples on the major auction circuit; StJames and heritage a good few years ago now, and healthily priced, so this supports the rarity stats by BCW
