Then I think it depends on what you are planning on selling. Your VG 1895 will probably get lots more exposure at heritage than at tele-trade= more potential bidders= higher price

I can't really say I favor one over the other, except to recognize that week in and week out, Heritage is going to get the largest audience. But between Heritage, Teletrade, Great Collections and DLRC (among others), the field is getting a tad crowded. I have the feeling this list might not be the same in three years.
Most people tend to factor in the Buyer's Premium when considering their bids. So, having aligned themselves a bit more with Heritage on that end, I suspect Teletrade sales prices (for the consignor) are going to drop a bit.

Thank you very much for all the advice guys. I think I'll use Heritage until I see how Teletrade's new format is working for them.

If they're popular coins I would probably just slab them myself and sell on ebay. The seller fee on ebay is lower than the buyers fee on most of the other sites

Thanks, I just posted some of the coins I need to sell in a new topic. It may be that I would be better off selling some of them on ebay. But a couple of them would bring good money if graded right.

To clarify by slab them myself I meant send them into the TPG (I prefer PCGS personally) to be graded then sell them.

Aw man I just got done scribbling MS 66 on all of them, and putting them in sandwich bags. Now you tell me. :)

Long thread to read .. and I am tired ... so apologize in advance for the short reply ... Heritage and Teletrade are in the same company family ... marketing to different clients. The difference is reputation and exposure to big-wallet bidders. Heritage sells the high dollar coins ... Teletrade sells the coins below $5K. Both require the coins in TPG slabs ... and will do that for you if your coins are worthy. David
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Thanks basebal21 I will slab them one way or another. And PCGS seems to be the way to go for resale.

Has anyone considered Stack's Bowers Gallries? Their buyers fees are also 17.5%, but I think their sellers fees are negotiable, but not sure?

I just hung up from Heritage. Their seller fees are 10% & buyer fees are 17%. I, myself think that is a little high.

I registered with Heritage last night. After reading through their book of regulations, I came to realize that they are pretty much the same as Teletrades new outline. So I'm back to thinking that no sellers fees look really good. I think I'll give them a shot. No slabbing fee, no sellers fee, hopefully they have buyers.
