Then the big, big disappointment of the day came from artdec55, one of the largest numis dealer we have over here. He put a huge lot on sale (like 200 coins at once, all starting at 2€/p).
I spent the whole day trying to determine their value, and some of them were just impossiblecoins, the kind of stuff who pop up once a decade on sale and you have no idea how to price them.
Finally managed to bid on them all... only to end up winning 4 of the most useless, pathetic coins of the lot that i didn't really want.
I initially thought the overwhelming quantity on sale and the really narrow time window (like they were ending 20sec apart each) would play in my favor.
And when i looked at the results i was fucking devastated : on a good half of the auctions, there was the same fucker who got them all for 50c above my max bid. Of course he potentially put a 10000€ bid and i'd never know, but it still made me seethe uncontrollably kek.
