[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2960896, member: 39084"]In my case, the specific percentage I pay my dealer for his expertise and representation varies based on the auction (some auctions "participate" with dealers and hence I pay a smaller commission). If my dealer negotiates a price with a private seller, I pay the seller's price plus a fixed, higher (percentage) commission. While the actual dollars I pay in commission can be well into the thousands, compared to the coin's price these amounts are relatively low -- lower than the "buyer's fee" charged by auctions. In all cases his commission is well worth the cost. I found my dealer quite accidentally when I was browsing his website and inquired about some of his high-quality coins. When he learned of my interest in such coins, he suggested I engage his services, since as a novice I was sorely in need of guidance.
