<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5385176, member: 97383"]Herodotos, I don't have the contract in front of me but can say this, like all major auction houses, if the consignment is large enough the contract is negotiable. If you ship to them you can do so at a reduced rate they have with FedEx. My consignment was large & included objects other than coins, so they agreed to drive to my condo & pick up the consignment. Lancaster, PA isn't that far from Churchville, NY. Before they showed any interest I emailed them quality photos of what I wanted to liquidate. I let them set the estimates (which are usually very low) & starting price. I'm pretty sure if a lot doesn't sell they will try listing it again at a lower estimate, or list it in a group lot. If the coins aren't that valuable to list singly it's better to list them in a group. I did this with a group of 7 modern Mexican proof coins. I also did this with 3 trade coins that had Chinese chop marks, see photo below of lot 887. This lot had an estimate of $200.00 & sold for $700.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1230987[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
