? on Heritage`s 20% buyers fee.

So if I have a winning bid of say $1,000.00. I am going to get clipped for an extra $200.00 plus shipping. Is this basically their fee for handling the coin? I was getting excited about bidding on a couple of Walkers from a well known set that is coming up, but that puts an end to my quest. It is all I can do to come up with what I consider a competative amount for bidding. Did not figure in a hefty surcharge. This dog will have to stay on the porch because I can`t run with the big pack on this one.

    Link This was just discussed in this thread. Their fee is 15%. Just factor that into your maximum bid. Go to their website to see the coins and you will see the bids and they tell you what the next bid amount will be with the 15%.
  • take the 15% into consideration when you bid. Everyone else will be. This will influence the hammer price and you wouldn't be left out if the coin sells lower than the 850 target price you are shooting for.

  • Thanks for the info guys. I was not trying to rip the company. Being new, just wanted to clarify what to expect. Even at 15% that is still a handsome reward. Think I will just bid 15% below my bingo number and hope I get lucky. Just did not want to bid my max and then have it increased by the buyers fee. Some days I am a little slow after a hard week and need some clarification.

    20% THROUGH EBAY IS CORRECT.

    That's right, 20% juice to buy a coin. Than 8% to gray davis.
