Back in the day before I had memberships, none of the Dealers charged me anymore than actual cost. Reg service w/postage would set you back perhaps $40
Personally, if I was a Dealer doing this though I would charge. It is a major pain in the ass filling out the paper / boxing / trip to and fro the post office and then getting some yo yo that claims I switched coins on him. No thank you would be my policy.

Well then, I'm glad my dealer doesn't have such a policy.

I thought they weren't allowed to charge or say no as part of being a PCGS dealer?
If I were you, I'd get the Platinum level membership for $199 and use the free submission coupons, I think they give you 8 coupons when you sign up. I just submitted 6 coins through a dealer that charges 1% of declared value along with the actual submission charges......the cost......$260. Just something to think about.
Of course, this would be useless if you do not plan on submitting but just that 1 coin you have, ever.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
He said that he saves ~$2 of what my cost, as a member, would be. I can't remember if that is his charge or if he passes that "savings" on. I do remember he said that a portion of the shipping would be charged to me.
All in all, this deal had very fair practices for submitting. I just didn't like some of the "chemical experiments" that were going on in the backrooms there
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Last one I sent in to PCGS via this dealer was an 1801 DBHE dollar. I thought she was a 53 with a shot at 55. Dealer (whom I respect immensely) told me not to be surprised if she came back in a 45.
Well, she came back in a 53 holder. I'd probably still have her but I took on a partner for the acquisition due to lack of funds so I promptly sold her. She was hammered, esp on the reverse. Minor scratch in the obv field and really did not have much luster. I sold her in 2005 for $8300. Saw her at Stack's last year for north of $12K. Then on another dealer's web site for about the same price. Have lost track of her since.
