<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4534574, member: 101855&quot;]I agree. Auctions are often the pits. You almost always get driven too high if you win and get tired of losing. I hate buyers&#039; fees. People say, &quot;Just lower your bids to compensate for them,&quot; but a lot of bidders just ignore them. That&#039;s why you end up paying through the nose in most auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritiage changes a 25% buyers fee, which takes them out of running for me most of time. The other politcal items dealers charge 15%. The item has got to be really special for me to get involved in a Heritage political items auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some dealers have decent fixed price lists, but there are no negociations like there are at a shows. You also have to wait forever for the mail. I don&#039;t mind buying the shipping and insuracne fees because it usually costs more to go to a show, unless it&#039;s local.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>AND the really big issue ... You get to see the item IN PERSON before you buy it. Nothing can replace that. </b></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to miss the shows. It looks like earliest one for me will be Winter FUN, if it is held.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
