Teletrade

I have checked it out from time to time and do spot certain items of interest. Prices, however, are particularly high while the platform is not very easy to navigate to say the least.

Is this a real auction, or simply high reserves set?
Habsburg Talers

TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.

    I have had an ID there for years, but have never bid on a single auction. After browsing there for a long time, I quit looking because there are better uses of my numismatic time than that site.

    Some of both I believe. You can occasionally find a good buy.

    In my experience of only one year, mostly high reserves. I do not find the navigation difficult at all. In fact I prefer over Heritage. Unfortunately I rarely see my interests listed there.

    Three years ago I was buying probably an average of one coin per month on Teletrade. In the past 12 months I have purchased....zero. They have really gone down hill with very high starting prices, and a lot of the items that are for sale there are low-end for the grade. The tokens, medals, and world coin sections (which is where I usually perused the most) have dried up to almost no items worth even looking at. It's too bad really. These are just my opinions and experiences.

    I find it OK to navigate. High openng bids. A coin I sold at Spinks for $600 is now listed on TT for $900. I hasn't sold. Go through the Prices Realized list and you'll see very few coins sell in the non-US section.

    Yes, they recycle the unsold lots, which are not clearly marked as such. Very little on offer, and IMO high reserves as has been said. I still check every couple of months...
    Great Collections is much worse though....LOL
