We bristle every time we see this particular Proxibid house announcing a “liquidation!” … only to see many opening bids at or above retail prices with an 18% buyer’s premium and $1.75 handling fee per lot plus shipping.
Case in point: Here’s the PCGS retail price for an MS62 1898 Morgan dollar: $52, on a good day.
This Proxibid house opens with a bid of $58, $6 over retail. When you add buyer’s premium and shipping and handling, you’re paying $78.19.
At my local coin shop, I can buy the same coin in a PCGS holder with $26 left to spare, enough for a 2013 Silver Eagle.
