Message:: [QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1806524, member: 29643"]Even if you take the NGC route, you'd still have to pay $14 (assuming you submit five modern coins) plus $32 S&H. That's in addition to the shipping you'd have to pay on the item to the buyer, assuming eBay. So, you're looking at $20.40 for just the base grading + shipping... then another $3-$5 to ship to the buyer. Let's say $25 to make the math simple. That's $15 more than you would have paid to have GC have the coins graded for you. At $1000, that's 1.5% (on top of the 13% paid to eBay). At $200, that's 7.5%. Yes, there's a very specific slot within which the $10 + 5% (15% if you include the buyer's side fees) will work out better on eBay... I think it's $950-$999.99 final price, to be accurate. Below that amount, the $10 + 5% is a better deal, and above that range, the 5% is waived. That all said, if eBay gets better prices than GC, go with eBay. However, in the short time I've been looking, GC seems to beat eBay final prices on graded coins. For raw coins (assuming you think the grading won't add value), eBay is the better option. However, for those looking to sell raw coins as raw, this thread isn't relevant.[/QUOTE]
