<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 3894618, member: 28199&quot;]Not sure about your coin, and don’t really care.&nbsp; I think your original post was questioning Heritage&nbsp; as an auction site, and I think you may have been comparing them to eBay.&nbsp; If so, two completely venues.</p><p><br /></p><p>On eBay you control the auction.&nbsp; You place the listing directly on their site, set the terms and conditions, decide on a reserve (or not, your choice).&nbsp; You keep the coin, handle payment and shipping.&nbsp; You keep the proceeds, minus eBay and PayPal fees.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage is like hiring a live auctioneer.&nbsp; You give them the coin, they take care of the listing, advertise, manage the bidding, handle the shipping and payment collection, etc.&nbsp; They do this usually for a percentage of the final bid price.&nbsp; Some, including heritage, also charge a buyer’s premium, which the buyer pays to the auctioneer in addition to any taxes, shipping, etc.&nbsp; This does not affect the hammer price, but is in addition to the winning bid.&nbsp; The advantage of using a venue like this is they have the experience and expertise to guide you on expectations of value and salability.&nbsp; On eBay, the only expert advice you get is you.&nbsp; You essentially get what you pay for.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other thing.&nbsp; In the case of eBay you can sell one or more items in individual listings.&nbsp; When you use an auction house (or hire a live auctioneer) they will combine multiple sellers into one auction and schedule that auction at time that maximizes bidder availability and viewing.&nbsp; This is why it may take weeks or months for you to get the proceeds from sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this answers some of your original question.&nbsp; If not, I apologize for a long winded reply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
