<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8275244, member: 101855&quot;]Auctions are usually very unpleasant places to acquire coins. The prices are often sky high, and collectors, who have looked for certain items for years, have to pay through the nose or lose out to some &quot;investor&quot; who has little idea of what they are buying. </p><p><br /></p><p>The buyers&#039; fees only make it worse. Many bidders ignore them. If I could tack another 20% on my sales prices, I could afford to have the body guards and movers that would have kept me on as a dealer. Getting into and out of the shows safely was the toughest part of the job. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think it has gotten worse since the pandemic. People learned that they could sit at home and bid instead of going to a show or their local dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
