It amazes me that anyone sends any cards worth less than $25k or so to any of these auction houses when eBay, Probstein, and PWCC are all willing to offer you MUCH lower selling fees AND bring more eyeballs. You're getting absolutely ripped off if you're sending 4-figure cards to places like Goldin, Heritage, Mile High, Lelands, LOTG, and REA. These guys are telling you they don't want your cards/business when they tell you you're not getting ANY of the buyer's premium back, let alone charging a selling commission on top.
This hobby has a serious problem with the rake paid for transactions. I'm blown away that someone hasn't come along and created a seriously competitive platform yet to put all these guys out of business. PWCC had a chance, but they sorta blew it by wasting their money and charging way more than they needed to.
If the company you're considering consigning to employs a sales team, then you're sending your stuff to the wrong place.
