coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 3:31 pm Just wondering if anybody else has used Great Collections auction site & if you like? I have been using for over one year and am very positive on this site. Auction every Sunday evening. I have won auctions at great prices and find great coins offered. Shipping & fees quite reasonable. I have been buying & selling. Not associated with this management at all, just curious. I have found many very nice world coins & many Canadian coins.

coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 5:29 pm Wow!! I had no idea. Ship to US is $3.50 for 1st coin & 50 cents each additional. Check out previous auction wins & prices paid and it may work out ok. That shipping fee is high! Some auction wins have been very low $ and could be affordable. Report this Post to the Staff
coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 6:05 pm FYI- I have forwarded this to the owner of Great Collections, Ian Russell, and maybe he will address shipping charges & hopefully make Canadian purchases more affordable? They are a great outfit-top notch. Report this Post to the Staff
greatcollections Great Collections Representative United States 33 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 6:41 pm Thanks for the feedback. I agree, I wish shipping to other countries was cheaper. I want to point out - we lose money on shipping, in fact about $1500 per month (when looking at postage cost vs. shipping collected, not counting shipping supplies, handling and insurance cost). When I add in the insurance costs, it's a greater loss each month. Our shipping is based on averages too - and we've had to upgrade a lot of shipments to Canada to ensure we meet insurance requirements. - Ian Report this Post to the Staff
