Default Heritage Galleries Ebay Live Auction

Posted By: Jerry Ficchi

Yes, extremely excessive buyer's premium, but they do deliver. Live auctions are always better than extended time on internet auctions. They allow phone bidding (like Hunt) and credit card payments - not to buy with money we don't have, but to expedite the process. Credit card reward points are always nice too. Hey, if we're spending several thousand anyway, why not get a little something (and I do mean a little) for it. I received my item today via Fed Ex two day delivery and it was packaged like no other I've ever opened. Three boxes, each smaller than the other, with each surrounded by those annoying peanuts. This is my first experience with Heritage and I'm very happy with the transaction. I won't ever go overboard with them, given the high buyer's premium, but I will factor that into my bidding process when they have an item I'm extremely interested in.
