Also,, I'm pretty sure HA fees are a "minimum" of $14 or 15% (whichever is greater). Further to my point,,,, if you looking for a "deal",,, ebay is comparitively the best venue imo, no fees and a greater population of collector to collector offerings vs. dealer to collector or even worse, dealer to auction house to collector... where markup markup is the name of the game.[/QUOTE]
