<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1045855, member: 13650&quot;]Maybe so.&nbsp; Sometimes people pay for convenience too.&nbsp;&nbsp; My only problem is that you act as if Heritage is the end all source for pricing.&nbsp; It may be one of the lower sources, but not the only source.&nbsp;&nbsp; Depending on what you&#039;re selling, Ebay may or may not be a better choice than Heritage.&nbsp; The classifieds here may be a better source.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you think Heritage has the coverage that Ebay does?&nbsp; I never heard of them before somebody mentioned it here.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think they primarily cater to the high end collector who has money to burn.&nbsp; $10k coins are out of my range, but that&#039;d be the place to go if I wanted to find one. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Many times, Heritage doesn&#039;t have the selection I&#039;m looking for either.&nbsp; They may have 30 examples of an entire series, where on ebay you can find 30 examples of a given date.&nbsp; And you don&#039;t have to wait 30 days for the auction to end.&nbsp; There&#039;s just more people on ebay and surprisingly, the fees (that everybody complain about) are lower!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There&#039;s a $10 Eagle I&#039;ve been watching for the past 30 days on Heritage.&nbsp;&nbsp; The current bid is $850 but then the 15% Buyer&#039;s premium actually makes the actual current price $977.50.&nbsp; &nbsp; The next minimum bid is $50 more which pushes the actual price of the next bid to $1035.00 with buyer&#039;s premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Once it hits a thousand, the minimum bid increments go to $100 plus the 15% BP!&nbsp; &nbsp; With many coins, it&#039;s like the first person to get to that level wins.&nbsp;&nbsp; The price where it&#039;s at might be just under what it should be.&nbsp; But the next min. bid sends it over $115 more which may be too much.&nbsp; So there won&#039;t be any more bids.&nbsp; Now you&#039;re playing with $100+ at a time which can lead to huge discrepancies vs. any list price.&nbsp;&nbsp; You might get two nuts fighting over the same coin that push the price through the roof.&nbsp; Because they have to, because of the minimum bid increments of over $100.&nbsp; Two wild bids can put a coin $250 over listed value.&nbsp; Would it happen to the same coin on ebay?&nbsp; Maybe, but not likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I know some people love Heritage but many people are not used to min. bids and buyer&#039;s premiums like that and don&#039;t care for them.&nbsp; Including me.&nbsp; You posted some low sales that were great.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t have the patience to wait 12 months for something I want to show up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
