[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1424267, member: 112"]For every coin you ever buy, no matter where or from who buy it, you pay fees. You just don't realize you are paying the fees because not everybody tells you are paying the fees. Instead they just lump the fees into the price. If you want to buy some new jeans, new shoes, new shirts, whatever - do you look for a store that doesn't charge you fees, or do you just go the store and buy them ? Whether you realize it or not, every store there is charges you fees, they just don't tell you that that they are charging you fees. You see, the jeans you want only cost them $10. But do they tell the jeans only cost you $10, plus the fees to pay the electric bill, plus the fees to pay the store help, plus the fees to pay the store taxes, plus the fees to pay the store's shipping costs, plus, plus, plus ? If they did tell you all this would you look for another that doesn't charge fees ? No, they tell you the jeans will costs you $39.95, plus tax and you walk in and buy them. It's the same with coins. And it doesn't matter if it's ebay, or Heritage, or Teletrade, or your local dealer down the street, or another Coin Talk member. Every single one of them is charging you fees to buy that coin. The only difference is, some people tell you about the fees, and some don't. The cost of the coin is the cost of the coin - it doesn't matter what the line items of the costs are. Only the total cost matters. Fees are not an extra ! They are merely 1 line item in the total cost.[/QUOTE]
