Heh, you sure have got one for all occasions AJ. Straight away I can see a burglar beanie, a bikie beanie, a down by the docks beanie, and there's one I reckon could pose as a smurf beanie :laugh2::laugh2::good:

Come to think of it, and not strictly related, Snow White was picking flowers in the woods when she heard sounds of commotion and distress from the direction of the house.

She could see fire and smoke billowing from her dwelling and her first thought was, the dwarves, the dwarves.

Stricken with panic she crashed out through the edge of the forest and into the clearing, and as she made her way closer to the house she could hear the chant, so and so (any team you dislike) to win the premiership, so and so to win the premiership.

With a sigh of relief she exclaimed, "thank God, at least Dopy is alive" :biggrin:

I have bought from various auction houses and have paid the extra 16% "Vigorish" in the past.
I now much prefer to use numisbid because of not only the 0% buyers premium but also because I get my coins delivered Way faster than any other Auction house :good:
From the drop of the hammer to delivery is normally 7-10 days , That is due to Aussie post not Numisbid as my winning lots are dispatched within a day of the ending of the auction.
NONE of the other auction mobs can match that

If you're bidding on Nobles coins live online it will be
plus 17.5% buyers premium
plus 3 % extra premium (for the invaluable privalege)
plus 10% on buyers and extra premium
plus $15 postage
plus 3% credit card fee

I baulked at the credit card fee and opted for direct deposit as you
have to draw the line somewhere because it's just plus plus plus

Sorry Robbie I should have explained it better
the 3% is an extra charge for their new live online bidding provider
called "Invaluable" and the 10% is GST on the buyers premium and
and the extra premium/charge

That is silly I know auction houses who give discounts on BP for bidding online? Certainly it would reduce time spent on going through postal bids, processing, etc by just going online bidding?

Thats the reason why I dont buy coins from Noble online anymore !

robbiegal · August 05, 2015, 07:06:18 PM

I think Nobles are just getting "Greedy" , Simple as that :angel::dodgy:

I buy at nobles as we only have one coin auction in NZ every year and it often does not have stuff I collect in it. It has been a week now since I won at the noble auction and still have not received an invoice to pay in the mean time the NZD keeps dropping so it is costing me more and more every day lmao. To make it worse I have to really pay by CC as I still cant find anyone who works at NAB to open me a Aussie account lol.

Got my invoice on Tuesday so give them a call or send them an email as you should have had it by now

serial · August 06, 2015, 06:50:31 PM

Got my invoice Tue. I paid it the same day and I got the coins today.

NZCoinerrors · August 06, 2015, 07:17:47 PM

hmm now that is annoying normally takes them a week to 10 days to email me the inv then I pay same day CC and it takes them a week to ship it then about 10 days to get to NZ lol. So far I dont think the process has ever been under 4 weeks from the last day of the auction. I will give them a call tomorrow i think.
