Has anyone bought there before? Sort of stumbled across it and was wondering their reputation

Yep, no issues. I've met Ian (president) several times and he's a pleasure to deal with.

Ian is great (I've met him too), and I've emailed him about problems from board reports (i.e. 2nd hand) that get fixed in minutes!

I love to shop with Great Collections. I've never had a single problem with them. Speaking of which, I need to check my Watch List. There are a few auctions ending tonight.

I'm planning to buy from them in the future. One thing that really surprised me is you can get as good or better deals on some coins there than on ebay. I recently bought a 1866 Shield nickel (Rays) in AU-53 condition (NGC) for just under $200. Based on my search of current and past ebay auctions it seemed like a pretty good deal. Later on I checked GC and they some in similar condition that went in the $150 range. And just a few weeks ago an ANACS AU-55 went for $77! And it wasn't a details coin. There is a buyers commission on top of that though.

I'm not saying "GC is better than ebay" on price. Just that it can be very competitive depending on the coin.

I fully agree that Great Collections is an A-one operation. They have a more liberal return policy than some, but don't push it, I warn you.
