    Just about anyone's customer service these days. Ugh! I almost prefer talking to robots. Alexa, please help me!

    Actually, I've had mixed results on their sales. But that's true of just about every other venue I've tried.

    I've had good post auction services from Heritage, especially now since we have good arrangements. As for participating in their auctions, I tend to get beat-up more often that I would like. :s

    With Heritage's fees you'll be left with nothing but your robe and slippers.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    If you broke out your local grocery stores fees, heritage would look like a bargain. You pay a total price. If your total price is more than you wanted to pay for the coin, you need to hire someone to do the math for you. If 7-11 worked like Heritage, you would see a $1 price tag on a slurpie, you'd go up to the cash register and they'd add 80 cents to $1 in "buyer's premium" and you'd end up paying $1.80 to $2 for your slurpie. At heritage, you have a $1 price tag on a the coin and you pay 20 cents "buyer's premium".

    In the context of a retail operation, there is nothing remotely excessive about 20% in costs.

    7-11 is not selling items that average out a $10,000 apiece that generate $2,000 in buyers' fees. The buyers' fee percentage has more than reached its limit.

    In coins, if you buy something for $1, chances are the dealer has 50 cents or less in it.
