<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2027921, member: 56859&quot;]Here&#039;s your end-of-year review.</p><ul> <li>If you have the technology to have a website and to show upcoming coins, you have the technology to update the current bids in real time or near-real time.&nbsp; Please do so.&nbsp; Do not accumulate bids from all sources weeks before the auction and then drop the bomb of a $200 estimated lot opening at $2000.&nbsp; If we know ahead of time that a potential target has become out of reach, we can better plan other purchases.</li> <li>Have both sides of the coin viewable on the auction overview page <i>(hello, Heritage?)</i></li> <li>If a coin has been smoothed or tampered with beyond ordinary cleaning, please indicate this in the description.</li> <li>If a coin has been tooled-- don&#039;t sell it, or at least note this in the description.</li> <li>If you don&#039;t have time to research a coin and to verify its authenticity, don&#039;t put it in the auction.&nbsp; We&#039;re paying you a premium to vet the coins.&nbsp; If you fail to do so, we might as well buy everything on eBay.&nbsp; And no, I&#039;m not asking for you to slab your coins.&nbsp; Please don&#039;t do that.</li> <li>Stop charging an extra percent for the privilege of bidding live online unless your bidding platform is actually functional.&nbsp; If you insist on using Coretech, buyers should receive a discount for the headache, not an extra charge.</li> <li>Stop raising your fees.&nbsp; I doubt the cost of doing business has risen as rapidly as your fees.&nbsp; Why are you charging us more?&nbsp; Buyer&#039;s fee, credit card fee, PayPal fee, online bidding fee... I&#039;m going to stop buying from some of you unless you curb your fees.</li> <li>If your company is serviced by an auction aggregator (Sixbid, Numisbids), please ensure that you respond to, record, and act on&nbsp; those incoming bids.</li> <li>Ship orders within two days of payment.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t have enough staff to handle the volume, either 1) reduce the volume of your auctions to a few hundred instead of thousands, 2) hire some temps to help address and stuff envelopes, or 3) hire additional permanent staff.</li> <li>If you have a big auction coming up, please ensure that you have adequate packaging and mailing supplies. <i>(hello, Roma?)</i></li> <li>If an employee is not capable of even pretending to be concerned or helpful, that employee should not be answering the telephone <i>(hello, Baldwin&#039;s?)</i></li> </ul><p>I&#039;m all for you making profit and continuing to provide us with purchasing options but you&#039;ve become so greedy.&nbsp; Your competition grows by the month and one of these days your bubble is going to burst.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Kisses,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; TIF[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
