<p>[QUOTE="fred13, post: 3906448, member: 20688"]Agreed for the most part but quite interesting how experiences differ across the board. I've had quite positive experience with Maison Palombo. Just a few days ago I won a coin with Dorotheum and I wouldn't bring myself to recommending them. It turns out the only form of payment they accept is bank wire which is beyond antiquated and archaic to say the least inconvenient for any North American buyer. Now clearly I erred for not reading their terms and conditions carefully so that's on me but still puzzling nonetheless. On Kunker I've heard too many stories from collectors whom have stated they engage in the lovely common European habit of failing to mention old cleanings present on coins so I've always shied away from bidding on their raw lots as well. To get back on topic though what the OP is experiencing is unacceptable. Makes one wonder for how much it really takes to open an auction house and be listed on six bid and if any vetting is even involved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
