<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7807869, member: 103207"]I've been dealing with Heritage since the 90's. Over the years the buyers fees have gone up. I think it was 10% in the mid 90's and it has been going up over the years. What people seem to forget is the cost of doing business. Operating cost for Heritage, Stacks Bowers or Goldberg or are high. I know Heritage will wave the sellers fee in some cases as well as not charge a sellers fee on coins over a certain price for long time customers that have bought the coins from them. The buyers fee is what is keeping the doors open. They don't sell coins for free someone has to pay them to keep the doors open. So when a coin is sold the original owner may only get 70 percent of the sell price including the buyers fee. So if a coin is sold for $100.00 including the buyers fee the seller will get about $70.00.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
