<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2690154, member: 19463"]It would seem much ado about nothing but sellers discovered that more bidders forget to bid lower to offset the buyer's premium than do consigners forgive that they only got 40% of hammer on their coins.

They just offer a discount if you pay by check (like we are too stupid to figure out that is the same thing). A few sales ago I took the check option and the coin was much delayed. I was told they had to inquire of the previous management how to handle a check payment.

I was told by one dealer that she got an email telling her that a coin was fake and she should delist it but that was when it was being run by a previous administration. I love VCoins and buy many coins from dealers there that I know but the time has past that we get a notice of a new dealer and feel like we can accept them as an equal to the ones we know. The same goes for eBay except they have some outright crooks which for me is offset by having coins sold by other collectors (like me) who are not dealers but just have coins to sell. That is where I got the old Sear certificate coin. That is where most coins on eBay came from when I joined before they went to terms favoring dealers listing things for more than they were worth whether they were real or fake. If it cost money to list a $10 coin for $100 but not have it sell, we would not have those thousands of ridiculous listings by the dealers we love to hate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
