Do you fill this thing out? If so, what kind of info do you provide?

ms70 · February 22, 2005 8:15AM

I don't fill it out. I refuse to tell anyone whether my collection is worth .01 or $1,000,000,000............

For those who have already answered that you don't know what the survey is:

Heritage Auctions sends out a "survey" every year that asks some pretty detailed questions about your collection.

What are your three most important "holdings"?
What is the value of your collection?
What is your annual coin budget?

and the like. A drawing is held and the 1st place winner gets $10,000.
2nd place can sell up to $100,000 w/out sellers commission (yeah right, like I have 100,000 worth of coins)
3rd place can sell up to $50,000 w/out sellers commission (yeah right, like I have 50,000 worth of coins)

Yeah I fill it out. I figure I'll win the Saint each time.

Not me. Some of those questions are too personal, IMO.

I haven't gotten one yet.

Someone wants my opinion, they pay me for it.

I make an exception for the Forum.

I didn't fill it out because you nailed it. It is just a marketing gimmick.

The questions I wanted to see include....

What can we do to improve our service?
Did you feel sticker shock when your $450 winning bid became $566 on the invoice?
Should we open a brick and mortar in Ca. so we can justify charging Ca. state tax?
Ever wonder why our digis are so inferior?
etc............
