<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8467044, member: 24754"]When talking about bids or sale prices, I always include the juice. I hate that we even have to distinguish. I feel that auction houses using buyer's fees is an underhanded attempt at manipulating people into spending more than intended (They could take the fees off the top of the sale price....same difference without the math). Not like I can boycott Heritage though, they are the only ones that reliably sell the slabbed coins that I'm after. In any case, most of the others do it as well, so I would just have to deal with it either way <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That Claudius As was a nice coin for sure, but I still can't believe that it went that high ($1050).
