Any Experience With Proxibid Auctions?

Hey All,

I usually try to keep between 30-50 coins on my want list. That gives me enough to look for that I'm likely to find something on a regular basis and keeps me from making the bad decision of "just filling the hole". At the same time, I always have all of my purchases going toward some goal, not just random purchases.

Right now I've sunk down to only having 12 coins on my want list, and before I start a couple of new goals I have, I know I really have to finish those 12 or they will likely never be purchased as they do not come up for auction terribly often.

With all that said, I'm already familiar with most of the places to look for nicer coins. ebay on a rare occasion, Great Collections for mid-level coins, Heritage for mid-to-high value, and most of the dealers through NGC and PCGS listings. But it's been a month and I haven't found a single one of those darned 12 coins.

So I wandered on to Proxibid and there were 4 of the coins I need listed by someone. I see the Buyer's Fees are high, but that doesn't matter since you only have to divide to figure your actual high bid. I see there is something of a ratings system, and I see you really have to watch the shipping costs.

I also realize it depends more on the seller than on Proxibid, as to a customer's satisfaction. So I'm looking to see if anyone buys through Proxibid, and if so, what companies you may have had good or bad luck with.

As an idea of what I'm looking for (and I'm picky on eye appeal, not just the stated grade), the four I spotted on Proxibid were a 1935-S Peace dollar MS-65 PCGS, 1935-D Walking Liberty half MS-65 NGC, 1940-D Washington quarter MS-66 PCGS, and a 1937 Buffalo nickel MS-67 PCGS.
