<p>[QUOTE="flintcreek6412, post: 1924264, member: 61025"]I bought my first coin from them online during their signature auction in Chicago. I bought another one that same Sunday night on one of their Sunday auctions and another later the next week at a Tuesday Auction. All were paid immediately upon email invoice via paypal. I called the Monday after the 2 I bought on Sunday because they had separate shipping for each auction invoice, thus about $26 for shipping. They said they couldn't combine shipping. I was a bit surprised by that.</p><p><br /></p><p>It took them 2 weeks to ship the original order and they lumped all 3 auctions into one shipment. I was not happy with the fact they charged separate shipping for all 3 auctions yet shipped them all together. I got charged over $35 for about $1100 worth of coins and it was just dropped in the mailbox with no signature or anything. That kind of surprised me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless I pick something up in the future at a great price and don't need it in a hurry I will probably pass on them in the future.

You never know what you win until it's basically over and they all seem to end at the same time. Hard to budget a buying spree. If I want to spend $1000, that's all I can bid to, yet I might walk away with nothing or just $500. Nothing worse than only winning a $70 coin and paying $8 shipping. Not my favorite format to continue visiting. If they spaced the ending times just 30 seconds apart I could keep better track of what I win/lose and it might tempt me to bid on something that originally wouldn't make my A list but knowing I still had budget money I could bid on.</p><p><br /></p><p>They do have a nice inventory though and a great research tools.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
