<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 21794247, member: 74624&quot;]Back in early December I sent 100+ PCGS/NGC certified coins to Great Collections for consignment.&nbsp; Before I go further I want to say that I&#039;ve had good experiences as both a buyer and seller with them over the past 10+ years.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I noticed right away was that it took longer to get the coins listed for auction.&nbsp; I have no issue with that since the most likely explanation is that their business has grown with more consignments being received for auction.&nbsp; When the coins finally got listed, 90 were scheduled for the January 29th auction and the other 30 for the February 5th auction.&nbsp; After the January 29th auction was completed I noticed that the February 5th auction only listed 29 coins and that one of the coins, an 1865 3CN was flagged as being returned to seller.&nbsp; Of course I was surprised as this was a coin that I had sent in to NGC a number of years for certification and shouldn&#039;t have any ownershop issues.&nbsp; I sent a message to GC and got a reply stating that the coin was wrongly listed as a 3 cent silver by NGC.&nbsp; Huh?&nbsp; I had the coin in my NGC registry and they properly listed it.</p><p>So after the February 5th auction the coin in question showed up in the February 19th auction listing in which it was subsequently sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now here is my issue with this.&nbsp; As far as value, 90+% of the money coming to me came from the January 29th auction.&nbsp; As of the time of this post, I have yet to receive any payment from them.&nbsp; They state on their website that payment to consigners are within 30 days from end of an auction.&nbsp; Obviously, they were holding payment until the last item was sold.&nbsp; It seems a bit fishy to me that one coin was pulled out, delaying getting the payment to me; the longer they hold my funds they can collect interest on the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the question here is, &quot;Is it just me thinking that they are playing games with my money?&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I&#039;ve had good experiences with GC and am in no way trying to bash them here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
