[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 7610541, member: 56370"]I have made a total of 4 purchases from GC in the past year. Two were 4 figure coins. A few observations: 1. No sales tax and only 10 percent buyer’s fee if paying by echeck. Also faster and cheaper shipping than Heritage. 2. Bidding software is less sophisticated than eBay or HA. I’m not sure if sniping software can be used (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) and it’s not practical to bid on multiple auctions ending close together if you can only afford to win one. 3. I feel like I’ve gotten some better deals, perhaps due to lower visibility. 4. Photos are brighter than HA. Not saying that’s good or bad, just an observation. 5. No issues at all with customer service. 6. There seems to be a lot of low value coins along with high value coins in the same auction, but not always as much in between. For example, a VG details bust quarter is not what I would be looking for, but neither is one graded MS65. I would use them exclusively due to their lower fees, but sometimes HA and EBay just have more of what I’m looking for. Maybe I just need to be more patient. They are an excellent outfit and would probably be my first choice for consignment.[/QUOTE]
