[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 3252333, member: 5629"]I think the OP is actually inquiring specifically about the site US Auctions Online (formerly SeizedAcquisitions.com). Generally, the buyer's premium is 20% on that site, with the lowest shipping I have seen at $9. with many at or over $15. I have been checking them out for a short time now, but have noticed a few things. Their bid increments seem to vary based upon some unwritten perception of final value. The final values on many of their items seem to be skewed well past anything "retail" (not just coins, but electronics, computer, and home items as well). As well, it seems that the same types of items keep circulating into the auction time after time. That is not to say the same coins (like same PCGS/NGC/ANACS/ICG serial numbers etc), but the same types of coins are always popping up into the auction cycles. I find it hard that there would be so many people also paying way much more than the already over-inflated TPG price guides. Yet, this is a constant at that particular site. Not to mention the available photos, especially of the raw coins. It gives me the feel that I found a bad eBay seller who figured out how to make his own website. I have even seen the junk silver sell at that site for up to 150% spot. I personally do not recommend that site and would look into some of the others mentioned in this thread.[/QUOTE]
