<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan Kopald, post: 2029489, member: 72907&quot;]I am so bewildered by the increased fees of auction companies being 17.5%, that may also include state sales tax if the winning bid is under $1500 (California), and high shipping charges. One lot I won recent with all the &quot;juice&quot; and fees added created a 23% &quot;fee&quot; for my winning lot. I have never seen a protest about this issue. Let&#039;s face it, coins don&#039;t increase that much over 10 years - check any price guide, some keys have even gone down in value - check out a 1909 S VDB in 64 RB for example. But the auction companies rake in huge profits. The largest coin auction company boasts almost a billion dollars yearly in sales.</p><p><br /></p><p>For this collector, these fees have taken some of the enjoyment away from coin-collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone feel the same way I do? And if so, how to get back to the days of 10%?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
