<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2381983, member: 42773"]I'm not suggesting people shouldn't bid at CNG! I bid all the time. I don't win very often, but I bid. All I'm saying is be market savvy. CNG is the place to go for all sorts of rare, beautiful, and sometimes exotic coins, as long as you're willing to pay the money. CNG sometimes has coins you'll never find anywhere else.</p><p><br /></p><p>But because of their overhead, they typically don't offer starting bids of less than $60 on any coin, no matter how common or worn. (The most common and worn go into mixed lots.) After the high opening bids and buyer's fee and insured shipping, you can easily pay three times as much for a common coin as you would if you bought it elsewhere. I don't believe CNG even makes any money off these low-end coins. 15% of $60 is $9, so...well, I guess that buys Ardy lunch, which is good. Wouldn't want him to go hungry. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
