Superior Galleries Auctions

KurtHorn

I recently won a coin at the Superior Galleries Ft. Lauderdale Elite auction (Pre-FUN). When I picked it up they charged me $38 bucks worth of Sales Tax. I pointed out to them that there is no sales tax on rare coins in Florida. Glenn said: "Just give us a call and we'll fix it..." Well I've called three times since and recieved no response. I keep getting put on to a voice mail in their accounting department. Frustrating!

I also noticed during the auction that it seemed like every other coin had the wrong picture in their catalog. They kept announcing over and over "Lot # such and such has the wrong photo the correct phot is with lot such and such." Not exactly confidence inspiring.

I know $38 isn't alot of money but,... it should still be MY money.

Anybody have dealings with them? Will they ever fix this?

zzzz

Probibly NOT ... Just feel honored they let you bid ...

I ussually pay for the coins at the auction venue then have them send the lots won ... But .. I don't purchase from Superior any more So ....

I have had pretty good luck with them- although when I paid for a lot at the last auction the lady sounded pre-occupied and I called a few days later to confirm my order. I presume they are very busy right after the auction. Maybe get a few names and make a complaint? By the way I got my coin on Saturday and everything was fine. mike

I have only dealt with Superior twice.

I didn't have any problems either time with the transaction.

Best of luck sorting it all out.

In Florida, I think coin purchases under $1,000 are taxable????

I once bought a coin from them and it was terrible. I sent it back.

I think there's only tax of Foreign coins... Any coins that are legal tender in the US are Non-Taxable... Foreign coins where money is exchanged at higher than current exchange rates is taxable, bullion is also taxable (But not, that since AGEs are Legal Tender, they are not taxable)

Oh, and if the sales in a single transaction of foreign coins or bullion is over $500 it is also exempt, but not together... A $250 ingot, and a $250 foreign coin, are still taxable...

Other dealers are very happy about their attitude

You are exactly right on. This is Florida Law.

I've won a few online auctions from them without problem. My only complaint (and it's a minor issue) is that they are slow.
