Do PCGS dealers get a discount on grading fees?

This may have been asked before?

For example, a regular is $30. Do dealers pay less?

A local dealer told me "yes"

You mean $25 on regular, right?

BTW- do they get a discount for the $24 variety attribution?

OOPS!!

Yes indeed, $25 for Regular grading service (post now edited)
But no break on the $24 variety attribution cost.
And they also have to pay the $8/order handling fee.

Sounds like it's just enough to justify the time packing stuff up and sending it out for customers.

I think that most dealers stand to make there profits on the bulk submissions. Yes they do the others but most of them have there own area of special interest and work at what they do best.

Boom

Shhhhhh! It's a Secwet!
