For those with experience, which ones do you use?
Who do you trust most when selling your stuff?
What others out there are worth the time?

Can't go wrong with any of those, just make sure what you're consigning is what they are known for.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
Thanks Griffins - I looked those up and see what you mean - they all seem to specialize in something (autographs, tobacco cards, etc).
As for me, I'm just doing 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's PSA graded stuff.
Best bets for buying and selling?

I Like REA the best, but like others said they are all good.
Barry Sloate and Lew Lipset have some great stuff too and they are very knowledgeable collectors.

That is most important; whoever you chose.
I like all of them just fine.
Memory Lane is a pleasant bunch.

Is not $5000 real for a Maris -Cepeda combo card in an 8 from 1962. I'm still not on board with that price. 2 people had to bid that high to reach that price. This price came from another auction house. I've seen cards with the low pop factor that were worth a low dollar amount sell for thousands, but this card has nothing going for it.- it's not rare, pricey, popular etc. There was even one on ebay at the same time for like $160. Just my 2 cents. Also, I'm selling one that I own for $4000- any takers? 20% discount.

Buying Vintage, all sports.
Buying Woody Hayes, Les Horvath, Vic Janowicz, and Jesse Owens autographed items
As a buyer, I agree, have dealt with Mile High and have been impressed, also their juice price is a bit lower than the rest.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Pre-auction service was excellent. I spoke/emailed with Brian Drent several times and he handled the major items in my consignment personally.
During auction service was also excellent. I noticed a couple of errors in the descriptions of my items and these were corrected within 24 hours of being brought to Mile High's attention.
Post-auction service, however, leaves a lot to be desired. At no point did Mile High ever contact me to let me know how much my items sold for (although this was relatively easy to figure out for myself) or when I could expect to receive payment for my items. When I contacted them after 30 days to find out when I could expect to receive payment I received conflicting answers about why my check has yet to be mailed out which led to a few less than pleasant exchanges with them as I tried to figure out what was going on.
Bottom line is that before and during the auction everything was great, but their poor communication after the end of the auction has left a sour taste in my mouth and made me question whether or not I will consign with them again.
