I use the charts someone listed here for coins based on weight and the spot value. I only tend to bid up to that plus postage. It’s tedious to do the snipe style. I like the auction action due to being a boomer so I enjoy small increments on bidding to close to spot then back off completely and watch the coin sell for 3 times what I’d pay a week later. Occasionally see really cool stuff. I’ll be winning in for £10 then it’ll end for £160. That always amuses me, but it’s the job lots of florins etc that have an obvious higher value. I’m just waiting on a shitty antique fair to hit up and buy shit off someone who has no clue.

Also dislike people flooding eBay with “silver jubilee crowns” to try and trick people into thinking the silver is silver content and it’s not worth like 75p. Also a guy who sells tins of old British coins then sticks a couple of extremely valuable restrikes on top to trick people who don’t read the description. Oh and people selling debased stuff post 1918 for £4 when it’s just a three pence.
