That is what is called Cost of Doing Business...

... and it is something that must be taken into account when buying and selling. I know it sucks, but thats how it is. In fact, look at other auctions, both digital and real world... I see premiums as high as 18 percent.

Now, with that being said, the bullion coins are tied to the metals... I got $55-$60 for my graded PF69UC ASEs back when silver was $40 an ounce... I got $40-$50 for my ungraded ASEs as well. Now that silver has dropped, you can expect less. You just waited too long I think. When silver dropped to $27, I picked some up... and now that it has gone back up to $33, I let some go. I have yet to lose money, even with fees, on a coin.

As to PF70s going for $50... I live on eBay (and the other auction sites) and have yet to see prices that low. They may start there, but never end up there. If they were, I'd have PF70 ASEs right now. One piece of advice... don't use the price guide to determine what you can expect for a coin... use auction history... that will give you a realistic expectation, and will let you buy accordingly.

Send me a message, and let me know what u r asking for those coins...
