Some start at 50% and others start at zero - depends on the item being offered. In some cases (e.g. RCM Wildlife Series) they have some coins starting at a certain price and other identical or similar coins starting at 0. I managed to get a couple of items in their last auction at a reasonable price even with the fee and taxes. Other stuff I got outbid on and watched as it got bid way past my limit. |

I've heard of taxes but what the heck is "juice"?

Colonial Acres auction now has images uploaded and I think you can start bidding. Auction fee is 18% and many items have start prices at $1.00. Nice selection of items. If you are in the Kitchener area preview is on the 19-23rd.

Don't know anything about that - they do state "Items are as is, no warranty given.", and I guess like anything it is buyer beware.

This is from the auction website.
Doesn't look like there is any set rate.
"Shipping will be calculated & added on to the final invoice amount. Any duties incurred for shipping
to US residents is the sole responsibility of the buyer."

I'm local so can't help with shipping- sorry - would imagine it depends how far away you are. I'm already outbid on most of the items I had interest in - quite likely will not be picking anything up this time around . . .

How are estimates determined for auctions like these? And do they actually reflect anything or are they just there to try and hike up the price? I noticed they had some X for X coins but the $25 one has an estimate of $50, and all the $100 ones have an estimate of $150 which doesn't make any sense to me.

I think they just set them manually, I noticed that as well for the X for X and shook my head.

Estimates are generally pure BS for non-rare, low ms and below. 1/2 trends is about going rate for cdn coins that I have been watching/buying. Over 80% of circulation coins at the fall ccn auction were well below bottom estimate or did not sell.
Last auction I watched the x for x were selling bellow FV (after buyers premium, meaning someone lost a boat load).

A lot of the estimates read like this "$75-$100,000"
