<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 26777488, member: 24091&quot;]Well, there are two sides to every coin (pun intended).&nbsp; In the case of escalating prices, while I could not afford to acquire the coins today that I already own, it also means that the collection has appreciated by a huge amount.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree on the auction premiums.&nbsp; Used to be straight 5% sellers premium and 10% buyers premium with little in the way of negotiating with most auction houses.&nbsp; I&#039;m fairly certain the instant Heritage Galleries boosted their buyer&#039;s premium to 22%, that sellers were demanding their 110% terms be boosted to 111.5% to compensate for their &quot;loss&quot;.&nbsp; For those who consigned to January sales at a lesser rate only to get blindsided by the boost in buyer&#039;s premiums on short notice, if I were them, I&#039;d be looking for another auction venue to consign to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
