<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3562398, member: 89970&quot;]Everyone against whom I am bidding is paying the same buyer&#039;s premium, so I don&#039;t have a problem paying it as long as I have a clear understanding of what it is.&nbsp; I remember when there were no buyer&#039;s premiums.&nbsp; Those days are gone.&nbsp; The premium amount should be up front and obvious though.&nbsp; I have never had much trouble finding it when I really want to bid on a coin, and I usually calculate a default of 20% while considering the coin and what it might be worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I must say that I buy nearly 80-90% of my coins through auction houses.&nbsp; I have found that those coins that I purchase outright at shows or online, generally are at higher prices than coins of equivalent quality I see in ACSearch plus a 20% buyers premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the sites that specialize in slabbed coins, as logical as slabbing is in today&#039;s market, I find it exhausting and esthetically uncomfortable for ancient coins so I just avoid the sites.&nbsp; Most of the really good coins are elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
