<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2480970, member: 19463"]I am twice that and part of the generation that expects to get what you pay for. In this case, I might be easier on a one man operation who also does shows than on a place that charges 15% buyers' fees and doesn't have a secretary to answer the phone. Most of all, I get tired of the attitude from some sellers that suggest I should be glad they are willing to do business with me. A seller who runs a sale with 3000 lots and does not employ a staff for providing proper conduct business is not likely to earn repeat customers and not someone I would consider consigning my collection to when the time comes. (The sound you hear is the sigh of relief from many who were hoping I would not ask their help in selling my junk.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Not all that long ago, technology limitations meant we would not know whether we won or lost a lot for a week after closing and then would wait for our check to clear before the coin would be shipped. Today, I have paid within a minute of closing and received coins from overseas in less than a week. Sellers who fail to keep up with modern expectations should not wonder when some customers hold it against them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
