<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2028296, member: 39084&quot;]I find myself generally in agreement with TIF&#039;s observation about this issue.&nbsp; Rarely is a situation so black-and-white that you can simply walk away from an auction house permanently because of its shortcomings.&nbsp; Everything in life has shortcomings from <i>someone&#039;s</i> perspective, and only when those shortcomings are extreme do you say &quot;This isn&#039;t worth it, I&#039;m going elsewhere.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient coins aren&#039;t the fungible commodity that modern U.S. coins seem to be, so if you see one that you really like or that completes your collection, you pretty much won&#039;t find a substitute elsewhere and are limited to purchasing it from the auction house that is selling it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s nothing wrong with trying to improve an auction house&#039;s policies in the future.&nbsp; Think about it: if you want to vacation in the Bahamas, and your spouse wants to go to Acapulco, do you react with &quot;OK, let&#039;s divorce, we can&#039;t agree on this.&quot;?&nbsp; Or do you try to work out a compromise and improve things going forward?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
