I was recently asked to pay for a COA on an item I wanted to consign. I told the AH to piss up a rope. If I am going to pay for a COA from a reputable authenticator I will just sell the authenticated item directly myself on eBay and control what I get for the item, at a net 13% cost. Why would I give an AH a 20%-ish BP and pay for the COA and lose control of the outcome?
