Message:: [QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1806252, member: 29643"]I don't think that's a completely reasonable position. The alternate venues for most non-commercial individuals would be eBay or HA/TT. If you go the eBay route, you'll likely get a lower price and owe 13% (since Paypal is essentially mandated) as the seller. On top of that, you'd have to pay $20-$30 more per coin to have them graded/slabbed. Since we're talking about coins under $1000 final value,  that's 2-3% saved on the grading fees alone. You're right that there is the potential for the 5% seller fee, but I view it a tad differently: For lower value coins (say $100-$200), the savings in grading fees are significant: 10-30%. It makes it viable to have coins graded (MS65/66 Mercuries and Walkers) that would otherwise be sold raw on eBay. The difference in price between a raw MS65 and a PCGS MS65 could be very substantial for a non-Power Seller on eBay. In any event, I just noticed it while looking over their site, and it seemed like a good deal that others may not have seen. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
