[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4885831, member: 110226"]I find the auction results at Roma quite similar to other establishments, such as CNG. Some coins are "hot" and many are not, with the majority falling somewhere in between. If you are bidding from the US or outside the UK, you need to take currency conversion rates into account, as well as the 20% buyer's fee. When figuring out the conversion rate, the actual rate that your bank or credit card company will be higher than the rate posted online, say at MarketWatch. Right now the BP is trading at roughly $1.28, which would roughly mean that the rate you will pay is in the neighborhood of $1.35 or so, perhaps a bit higher. Otherwise, bidding in one of their E-Sales is similar to other online auctions. However, if you are bidding on their floor auction this October, you can participate in the pre-floor auction, but I think you need to register with them if you wish to participate in the floor auction, and there might be a fee. I've never participated in the floor auction - for me pre-auction only. As with other auction houses, Roma's lots for their floor auctions tend to be very high end coins. In terms of finding coins of better value, you might have more luck with their E-Sale auctions. So, once you've made up your mind how you want to bid, and your bid limits, have fun![/QUOTE]
