<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1806269, member: 11854&quot;]It&#039;s actually an entirely reasonable position on my part.</p><p><br /></p><p>The HA/TT route is not always the best option for a group of coins that are individually lower priced, but ebay should not be automatically discounted.&nbsp; The casual seller likely would not have an ebay store and thus would pay the higher fee that you quoted (approximately 13%) since they would also have to use PayPal to facilitate a sale.&nbsp; They would additionally have to pay or absorb shipping and the risk in dealing with the buyer.&nbsp; However, the difference between GC and the public for the<i>economy grading </i> that you have specified is $10 per coin at PCGS and as little as $4 per coin (or up to $7 and $10 per coin) at NGC.&nbsp; Again, the seller in this case would have to pay return shipping on the coin(s) in question and this can up the cost per coin by some few dollars.&nbsp; Overall, it would only be around $10 per coin more, all-in, to do this yourself vs. having GC do it.&nbsp; The prices realized on ebay should not be scoffed at, either, since ebay can generate great levels for sales and ebay has the eyeballs that blow the competition away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no axe to grind with GC at all, but this may come down more to a preference of doing <i>less </i> by using GC vs. doing a bit <i>more </i> with some wildcard final pricing ability by working with ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
