[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2394411, member: 76181"]For those outside the EU, building the VAT into the price automatically makes it a worse deal than a minimum bid in the auction, because at least in the auction, you pay no VAT if shipped out of the EU. This problem that ROMA has (many unsolds) is largely due to the high estimates (as mentioned earlier.) The after sale always struck me as a strange business model, for all the reasons you mention. Mr Beale gets some very nice coins from time to time, but the auctions generally leave much to be desired. I take a stab at a coin here and there, but I don't sit around waiting breathlessly for the next auction. NAC, Triton, Gemini, most CNG printed auctions................I get restless waiting for the next one to come along. Having said that, CNG 102 is a bit of a disappointment for me. Just reviewed it several times and I find little in my sweet spot ($500-$3k)[/QUOTE]
