<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 770585, member: 19532&quot;]In paring down my collection, I have sold on Teletrade and am generally happy with them. I believe their sellers&#039; fees are lower than Heritage and I have found them very responsive when I have had questions or issues. For coins in the price range between $100 and $2000, they seem like a very good option to me. For coins worth more, I might think about their sister company, Bowers and Merena, or Heritage. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My experience has been that they list the coins in auction fairly promptly and I have been paid within a month or so of the auction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Two things to keep in mind:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. The photos are uneven in quality, particularly with respect to how accurate they are. Unlike Heritage, there is no pricepoint where they start taking better, larger photos (at least not in my experience).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. You are allowed to bid on your own coin before the auction begins but there is a bit of a science (or maybe art) to this. Set your bid too high, and no one else will bid on it and you are stuck with a buyback fee. Set your bid too low, and you may get a single bid above yours and you may feel you let the coin go for too little. I suppose this is no different than with Heritage or other places where you are allowed to set a reserve, but it is an interesting part of the selling process.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have no experience selling on Ebay and so cannot give you any points of comparison.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As Doug and others have said on here, it is good to sell a few of your coins once in awhile. You learn a lot more about a coin when you sell it than when you buy it. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
