<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1297141, member: 22004&quot;]Teletrade has a very efficient and user-friendly system.&nbsp; Good on coins under $500, but hard to get market on gold coins, especially $20 Liberties and Saints, what with their 15% buyer premium, you have to spend an additional $300 when the hammer is around $2000.&nbsp; They were much better @ 5.5% for gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage offers better exposure for really rare coins, has the best information on auction records and current market prices.&nbsp; Long wait period from sending them the coins and getting paid.&nbsp; Minimum for consignment precludes some submissions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Great Collections is paying $10K a week on advertising and they are building their market share and reputation.&nbsp; A different sort of system, more responsive and unspoiled than the others.&nbsp; Quality CAC material does well.&nbsp; Buyer pays 10% over hammer, seller pays nothing over $2000.&nbsp; They will get your coins certified for $18 a coin or so and get it done quickly as PCGS is just down the road.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some auction companies will encourage you to run your coins without a reserve--this could cost you dearly if the market is soft in that area, or if they have a gamed system.&nbsp; All big companies have an inside track which gives them a big advantage on bidding, over buyers and sellers who have to pay fees usually and have to wait.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
