[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 3130579, member: 76181"]Your estimates may be reasonable, but your opening bids should be lowered to 50% of low estimate (to compensate for the more accurate estimates.) In the end, a well advertised auction will get a coin sold at a fair price. I can't tell you how many lots I pass on because of your auction setup. It kills enthusiasm for any coin, and thus draws fewer bidders. Many of the auctions seem to be little more than a retail sale, presented as an auction. Also, your auctions often seem full of coins on consignment (thus the high opening bid) and when you purchase a hoard, your estimates seem to drop (creating a lower entry point and more bidders.) The unsold lots are rarely worth looking at since they are the minimum bid plus FULL buyers premium. After decades bidding on auctions (art, coins, maps, books,) I humbly suggest that you rethink your approach. I believe it can be improved. btw I am a customer, although that should be of little importance.[/QUOTE]
