I've heard some dealers don't even submit for the public to pcgs anymore but if you do or know someone that does, what are the fees compared to self submitting?

In my experience submitting through a dealer is usually only the best option if you are submitting a couple of coins. Once you get into the 5-10 coin range, you should do it yourself. High volume dealers can get a slight discount from PCGS, but they also have to make money themselves.
I assume it would be worthwhile for a lot of dealers to submit on behalf of people at some price. It gets a collector to come to their shop twice, possibly two more times than they would otherwise.

Check around if there is someone local to help you out, many dealers want to make a couple bucks on submissions for others due to the extra trouble. You would probably get better service if you do it yourself with the incentives to join the clubs, etc..
There used to be a couple of forum members that did this.... been awhile since I have seen those type of threads.... I always felt it is better to self submit....Cheers, RickO
Timing is everything...advertise early if you would like to tag-along with someone. I have done this before and split the shipping fees proportionally along with other actual fees.
