Re: Icollector, From the $2 0000001 thread:
I used them but they're a bit dodgy in my books & I no longer do. I won a $5 DF that was listed as UNC. BCS graded it as AU50 (fortunately "Original" but not UNC) which turned that into an expensive mistake. I also rarely won anything that didn't experience a last minute bidding frenzy no matter how lame the item (which makes me suspect shill bidding). Another collector friend observed many items be mysteriously re-listed (& has thought the same after using them for years). He tried to pick up won items from the auction house with a lot of grief (finding his lot, paying extra fees, etc). They also mislabelled a banknote (which fortunately they did not press me to buy) & tried to tax me on a gold coin. Lots of hassles. In fact, if you do go ahead & use them I highly recommend you pay close attention to their invoices. Don't bid on anything raw (or assume the item is at least a grade lower). I will never use them again (no matter how attractive their lots be).
[I also agree with Al-Bob in that they run more like a pawn shop & I think that they are as successful as they are since there is so little Canadian competition (at least in the GTA)]. Never heard of swappy.com
