<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DanielRusev1, post: 6269630, member: 103435&quot;]Roma Numismatics are one of the best in business in my humble opinion. I have bought from other auctions houses of course, but almost never got the proper service. Maybe i am old-fashioned, but i believe the attitude as customer service is also important and have the power on its own. Yes, their estimates and realized prices come a little steep - i assume this is due to the higher interest shown by customers causing them to outbid each other. It&#039;s not easy to win an auction on their platform, i admit. I won only twice, but so far i am very happy and think that i will buy again in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way these prices are formed is not up to the auction house, but by the interest shown through bidding. For example, i am watching the auctions of Leu Numismatik for some time and they have really low estimates - most of the coins are between 50 and&nbsp; 200 range (CHF), but they almost always go for several times over estimate. You can see in the reports that is very standard hammer price to be at least 200% over estimated value. It is the market who set the end prices, not the auction house. VCOINS are also offering firm prices from different dealers, but they are extremely overvalued - it&#039;s way cheaper just to buy from an auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, they might have a little bit of higher estimates for some coins, but if there is no market, they will not buy, right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Nothing good comes cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
