<p>[QUOTE=&quot;contrarian740, post: 1583809, member: 35150&quot;]Thanks ... I do understand all that and was also aware that lower fees could be negotiated under certain circumtances. All this is covered in &quot;The Coin Collectors Survivors Manual&quot; ... but while I can&#039;t speak for you, I doubt I&#039;d qualify without using a third party as suggested. And not a bad suggestion I&#039;d say!</p><p><br /></p><p>With respect to the fees, I&#039;d have to indirectly dissagree. I&#039;ll try to explain my reasoning much more clearly this time. While I haven&#039;t sold on Heritage, I have bought a few times. When doing so, I research the past sales and currect maket before bidding ... and then calculate my bid by dividing the price I&#039;m willing to pay (max bid) by 1.175. The sum of that calculation is my max bid. Obviously, I just took the 17.5% buyers premium out of the bid price and in essence ... charged it to the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>All auction archives on Heritage auction results include the buyers premium in the auction result. I know ... this is probbly a bit confusing but my point is this, there is no buyers premium on eBay so sellers more often than not get a better price there. No matter how you cut it ... the seller takes the hit in all of the fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;At least that&#039;s how I see it ... lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Rick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
