  Considering that the barrier to entry in the self-slab certification business is essentially $100 or so (for the plastic cases and labels), $50k seems a bit steep.

  I never knew the "A" stood for accurate, I always thought it was for "Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha".

  I don't believe this is the same company that Mr & Mrs Hagar have....

  This struck me as funny.

  You are correct - it's a different "grading service."

  They shoulda called them selves AAAAA Coin Grading Service -- then they'd be at the very top of the list!

  That's funny, they sold it on ebay around last Sept.
  The link is dead but still shows the title and date. I think it sold for about $100K. Maybe the buyer is trying to unload it again.
  
  last time sold on ebay
  
  Added: Maybe it did not sell last time and this is the 50% off sale?

  That buyer will have to consider himself very lucky is he recovers any part of his $100K.

  It's been for sale for a long time at various BIN prices.
  
  The current auction looks like it had an 'offer'. Somehow I do not think it was a serious offer.
  
  I think that if the person selling this business would only show more of their physical assets, they would have better luck. As it is, i'm not seeing much actually offered for the price asked.
  
  
  
  
  
  Now all I need is a stack of coin world slabs and I can sell my own company too.

  Well, the shipping is free, so it sounds like a pretty good deal.

  ACGS? Well, for an Actual Coin Grading Service, you need more equipment than a Web site and plastic, like THIS.

  Good deals with: goldman86 mkman123 Wingsrule wondercoin segoja Tccuga OKCC LindeDad and others.
