<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4801662, member: 44316&quot;]Buyer&#039;s fees are not the only fees. These numbers underestimate the loss upon selling. It is common to have a 15-20% seller&#039;s fee, too. Let&#039;s call it 15% which is the low end except for very expensive coins. So, if a coin hammers at $1000 the buyer pays $1200 and the seller gets $850. So, with a 20% buyer&#039;s fee and an 15% seller&#039;s fee the seller gets 70.8% (850/1200) of the price paid (not counting shipping, insurance, exchange-rate fees, PayPal or credit-card fees). So, to break even, a coin that cost you $2400 would have to sell to the buyer for $3390 (and hammer at $2824, as stated in the original).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do not confound &quot;hammer price&quot; and &quot;cost&quot;. They are much different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
