<p>[QUOTE="LindeDad, post: 1268778, member: 31518"]I think I can see why many dealers do not want to submit coins for customers any more. Every year or so a disgruntled customer goes on line and makes allegations that a dealer switched his coin or coins on a submission. Well for those that never heard of that dealer before now suddenly he is a crook. And he has to try and prove something that is really hard to do. </p><p>Or the submission of someones coins goes in on the economy tier of grading and the customer is on line the next week blaming the dealer of holding it up when in reality the grading service normally takes about forty five days to process those type of orders. </p><p>Then there is the old adage of time is money and is a customer going to pay a commensurate rate for the dealers time. In most cases I dough if they are. I know when I do submissions it normally takes about an hour to get it ready, packed, and taken to the post office as registered mail can't be dropped in the box at the end of the road. Now remember I have to do this again when it returns. </p><p>If I was a dealer doing a professional type of service would not a fee of like $50.00 per hour be appropriate. Oh but if I charge that on top of the grading fees that same disgruntled customer is going to be back on line saying how I charged more than the coin was worth to get it graded. </p><p>Sorry but sometimes we just need to look at the glass from the other side to see the dirt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
