I have noticed one thing (uncomfirmed as it was only on one bid), usually if you pre-bid £350 and someone else bids 350, you will be the winning bid.

You normally find both bids will be accepted, however whoever placed the bid first will be the winner, that includes book bids, phone bids,and live bids.

So a book bid left two weeks ago will take first priority, from an online bid left the previous day.

Good luck to all those bidding and selling tomorrow.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

You too, hope you get all the coins you're interested in.

@AndrewSL76 there’s one sovereign I’ve got my eye on.

Oddly I bid on two others last week that I’m glad I was outbid on now.

Odd, I know. 😬 But auctions with pre bidding so far ahead makes the sovereign collector, like myself, a bit trigger happy.

That is not odd at all. I know a few people who are bidding today who have not started yet. People who just want to bid live.

Good luck on that one item!! We are not in competition as there are no sovereigns for me this time...just the commemorative stuff!

Heavy bidding at the auction coins went for good. Money too rich for my blood 

Lastnauctuion picked up a high Ms grade prusia 20 for 330 quid knocking on the door of 470 this auction madness

Depending on what you were looking for it was not too bad. I got one coin for a lot less that I thought it would sell for. Pretty happy. Also, four of my coins sold - three for profit and one at loss - overall I am up by a tidy amount. Happy.

Yeah prices went too high for me too. Got a Vicky sovereign and lost out on a Napoleon III 10 franc by a fiver, went away for 3 mins and the lot passed by. Still kicking myself for it.

Look at it like this - it went for £5 more than you bid, but had you placed more bids, so might the other person. You could have saved yourself a bit of money. Yes, it is annoying that the other person got the coin at a good price, but there will be more.

Nice way to look at things. Always a next time. ☺️

It was my eagle that caused you a loss 😞 sorry, I don’t see why as I sold that coin raw for £130 2days ago, it should of got to £160, wrong punters I guess at least your up over all which is what matters 👍 I didn’t get anything what I wanted 🤣

[AndrewSL76]

Yes! That was one of the four I was selling! The others pulled their weight...phew...!!

Anyway, someone got a bargain. Happy for them!

I was able to get a coin today for a good amount less that I was ready to go to, so it’s pretty good to be honest. Swings and roundabouts as they say!!

I got an NGC MS64 1918 India Sovereign for £20 less than my maximum bid, which is always a bonus.
