I remember a few years ago, Heritage auctions sent out letters

[MikeKing]

The letters were asking collectors to sell their coins or put them up for sale thru the auction house. I got these letters repeatedly.

 

Yet, when I finally decided to put some coins up for auction, I had to haggle about the fees.

 

That aside, I stepped away from collecting for a couple of years, and now that I'm back, it seemed that good material was hard to find, and dealers were having a difficult time finding good coins to sell. Also, I didn't get any letters from Heritage or other auction firms, in the manner that I did a couple of years ago.

 

Any thoughts on this?

Not only do I get letters from Heritage, I get emails and phone calls. Probably 20 a year. They are extremely aggressive.

 

I also get letters and emails from other auction houses.

 

You may have been out of coins long enough that the letters stopped because they thought you had sold and were no longer interested?

I have been in the midst of a flood of Heritage propaganda for going-on probably eight years now. The materials sure take up a lot of space in the recycling bin.
