Also, in case you haven’t bid through heritage, keep in mind that they add a buyer premium

@Scifinator I’ve bought coins from heritage in the past at a 17% BP. Is it the same for comics ?

I've yet to entertain bidding with HA once I found out about that. It's kind of a shame because I feel that HA has some really nice stuff.

earlier this year I shockingly won a number of items - I say shockingly because I bid with the premium in mind and rarely go over FMV in total...so when I win at or below even with the premium I take the items and run baby run!!!!

So made a few bids on your books. Got your Star Wars up a bit. Good luck on your sales. Let us know how you made out.

I have picked up a few toys and comics on their site over the past couple of years. On the shill bidding, PropStore is pretty blatant. They have their own people bidding right up to the reserve. On Heritage, I haven't had the sense that they have their own people bidding, as on some of the items I won, they just didn't have that much movement. I think that with most auction venues, there is that possibility that we may be up against a shill, but if I win something that I wanted below market, then I am happy and don't worry about the possibility.

I, and others I know here and elsewhere, have put up probably close to $100K or more in books in just the last month or so of auctions @ HA.com

To say we have been underwhelmed by the numbers Heritage's audience generates is an understatement.

The BP plus the tax and credit card hit means you're absolutely not going to come even close to GPA for most of the stuff. 75% - 80% at best. I keep telling myself "but look at all the time you're saving." Which is just a lie.

I kind of regret my decision, and I think too much hassle to pull my remaining stuff and have it sent back.

I've always felt like I've missed stuff by never searching Heritage. So, I go search their site. I can never remember my login information and then decide it's all too complicated and a pain in the ass to remember the bidding strategy. Ultimately, I just give up and quit fooling with it until I forget about it after a few years and then try again.

I forgot my login information for HA years ago. Whenever I do the "forgot my password" link, I get a message to call them to reactivate my account. Of course, they say to call during business hours. Honestly, it's not important enough to me to remember to call them during the day.

You two must be part of my family. Your posts exactly describe me and my interactions with Heritage.

Ouch, hadn’t seen any recent feedback like that. Pretty much of the comics listed there this year that I track or bid on have been going near market. The closest bargain that i actually won was the Stan lee SS Iron Man / Sub Mariner a couple of months ago. As of early this morning, my 9.8 X-Men 136 had 0 bids which I was rather surprised at. But will see how it goes. If bargains are going to happen, hopefully some CBCS forum members are the beneficiaries.

@Doc_Cop - Some good results some not so good. Overall, slightly underwhelmed. There is another Star Wars 1 9.4 that will be coming up in another auction, not sure when as of yet. I think after that I will not use Heritage in the future.

$110 - Amazing Spider-Man 363 cgc 9.8
