If you had taken shipping immediately after the auction they would've charged you for insurance right, so what's the difference now?
I'm really confused by this rant.

Scott, I probably didn't explain myself very well. Collectors wanted to charge me $285 for insurance to ship me 3 items from their Vault. This insurance premium equates exactly to the stated value of the cards, or in insurance terms a 100% rate on line. Why would anybody buy insurance when the premium is the same as the insured value? Better to self-insure.
The difference for me, and many others, to use the Vault is to save on state taxes and as a temporary storehouse before retriving or listing.
