Where the heck do they get all these coins from? I'm tempted to buy a cheap coin (if there is such a thing) just to see how it goes.

Yikes. I'm guessing all of those are fake auctions. Although, I really want them to be real.

Yeah, the auctioneer looks dicey. It crossed my mind for a second that it might be a con, now I think I'll stay away.

Auctionzip is based out of Apopka FL.
It is a member of the BBB with an "A" rating and
is also a member of the NAA.
I have never dealt with them but they seem to be legit.

Did some quick research, I can't find any evidence of existence of this 'Golden Auctions' in BC besides this auctionzip listing...

Address provided in auctionzip listing is registered to a trucking company...

However, it looks like this company has conducted previous auctions on auctionzip before so I would think that the website would not have allowed them to conduct future auctions if there was fraud...

Some of those coins listed are outrageous! I also don't know what to make of it but if it's legit, there are some excellent coins available...

Yes, Auctionzip is totally legit. There are probably thousands of auctioneers that use it. I think we're questioning this one auctioneer. I don't know how Auctionzip vets their auctioneers, or if they even have to, or has any responsibility whatsoever. There has to be over a million dollars worth of coins listed. Their terms are very suspect. Most auctioneers on the site have 2 pages of payment/sales info, etc., and these guys have basically nothing except methods to give them your money.

Here's the shipping terms: "Shipping Terms:
please allow a few weeks for delivary for you items thank you"
