<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3658075, member: 82549"]I've dealt with them many times and had many successful experiences, but alas, I, too, have also had some problems. I think that Agora sometimes fulfills their auctions themselves but other times are just the storefront for independent collectors, so that you send your money to Agora, but the coins are shipped by the original owner. Why anyone would want their professional reputation dependent on the actions of other people is beyond me, but the result it that it can take a long time to resolve issues, if at all. A couple of times I have gotten a response along the lines of "Sorry about the problem. I will pass your comments on to the owner," and that was the end of it. No resolution.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the plus side, they are more trustworthy and reliable than many of the sellers on eBay, and their coins tend to sell for less than they do at other auction services like CNG or Roma.
