@Shinus73 I understand what you are saying and I do agree on occasions, however if you take an example of the last auction Lot 12 (which was the first sovereign not sold) - this lot started at £400 -1852 Shield Back Victoria Sovereign reserve was £470. I have just done a search online and cannot find a single sovereign of this year under £515 advertised that is in stock. Prices will always be varied. I agree sometimes they are too high, and some times very reasonably priced. The coin didn't sell, but what I've come to realise is just because something doesn't sell - it doesn't mean the price is too high. The same coin could easily sell for £550 in another auction. We have had this happen on so many occasions. The reserve has been lowered and then it sold for much higher than the initial reserve.  It just depends on the audience on that day, the image and a number of other factors including gold price on the day, and outside events which are not always in our control. We can start every Lot at £1.00 but if the reserves is £500 and the highest bid is £300 it won't sell. 
If there are any customers on here that would like to submit their coins at 10% below the gold price or even at spot, and let them run without reserve we are very interested in hearing from you. Please do get in touch.

@NGMD Thank you for taking the time to set up a discussion area for our auction. Just to reiterate we do not share any bidding information and whilst we cannot control if customers want to discuss bidding we suspect most will not want to make this public knowledge.
With regards to the running of the auction,  we have strived to create a transparent platform for customers to sell and buy. As far as I am aware we are now the only auction to offer - 0% Buyers Premium, A Free phone number to contact us on and reserves for our consigners. Our 10% commission (which is lower if you are a TSF member) is one of the lowest in the industry. We intend to continue to offer this great service with the help and support of our customers. 
We do our upmost to start coins as low as possible, and a good indication of the reserve can be usually be found on the low estimate. When a coin is bid at the start price and doesn't meet reserve the item will not sell, however often reserves are lowered during the pre-bidding stage so we actively encourage pre bidding as the reserve CAN be altered during the auction. It will never be higher, but it can be lowered if the consigner agrees.
Unlike most auctions we are 90% about consignments - meaning we do not buy the stock and auction it off ourselves. Being a fairly new auction we rely on the consignments from the general public which can be challenging managing  expectations. We have other challengers also including the moving gold price and the moving market. Of course we want every lot to sell, but this is not typical of most auctions especially one which is still building it's audience. Recently the Royal Mint had an auction where just 40'odd Lots sold out of 182,  https://auction.royalmint.com/auctions/catalog/id/38?page=2  - They obviously charge buyers premium, but still The Royal Mint - the most well known producer of coinage struggled. 
I like to take the positives about what we have created and push forward this idea of 0% buyers premium auctions. It makes the process so much simpler for the customer and we are looking in ways to keep this going. The best thing TSF members can do is support us - because if we don't get the support of the general public then everyone is back to paying 6%, 18%, 22% and above...if you enjoy buying your coins in this way. 
Thank you everyone for your interest and we hope you will continue to support our family run Auction.

@refero Hi Alberto - We do start most Lots lower than the reserve now, there have been some occasions when we have started Lots at the reserve but like most young auctions we have tested different methods to see what works best for our auction. In an ideal world we would start every Lot low and let them run, but for obvious reasons that cannot happen all the time. Sometimes, it does and I love to watch the bidding then. I wish more people would take a gamble and try this as it can achieve much greater results. We are also aware how frustrating it can be to bid on a lot, be the highest bidder and lose to the reserve. Hence why sometimes we start nearer the reserve. I do assure you it's not as simple as people think it is keeping  everyone happy. 
I am sorry to hear that the mix up of the Lots puts you off as I get many customers telling me they prefer it this way. The advantage of mixing the lots is exactly opposite to what you have said -exposure. More people view coins they might not if they were in perfect order. Many tell me that it's more interesting to watch too, and another reason we do it like that is because every month we get last minute consignments. So if we organised it as you suggest (like every other auction) we would not be able to accept last minute consignments. Also, in this case duplications they could not be accepted as this would compromise the coin next to it.  So mixing up means we can separate those duplicates. If you view the auction at the beginning and we have 120 lots - often that can end up being 160 lots by the end of the auction. Again, in an ideal world people would consign months in advance. Unfortunately, most do not. This auction is NOT supported by our own stock. The auction is mostly consigners, supported by a few dealers.
If you are looking for a specific denomination e.g.  Sovereigns -you can use the search bar to do this. 
I have come to realise you can't please everyone all of the time- I hope one day you might change your mind and give us another try. 
Best regards

FWIW I’ve enjoyed your auctions thus far.  Have purchased a few bits including a couple of special years in your latest auction on Wednesday last. I love the 0% buyers premium and really do think it sets you apart from other auctions. Didn’t like paying postage twice for items bought in the same auction but maybe they’re not sent together? Sellers want assurances, buyers want bargains. Can’t please everyone all of the time so for now, I enjoy what you’ve put together and where the pricing is right (for me) I’ll keep bidding. Thanks Louise/Dan 👍🏼

@Shinus73 Running this monthly auction and finding those customers who are willing to put their coins up without some type of reserve is extremely difficult. We do get collections submitted where we are given the reigns to sell and list at the prices we believe are fair, but as you can appreciate it's not easy to provide that month in month out. 
We really do appreciate everyone who takes the time to look and bid though and we will keep striving to get the bargains in there. 😜👍 Hopefully you'll see more of these as we grow.

It makes the process so much simpler for the customer and we are looking in ways to keep this going. The best thing TSF members can do is support us - because if we don't get the support of the general public then everyone is back to paying 6%, 18%, 22% and above...if you enjoy buying your coins in this way. 
Thank you everyone for your interest and we hope you will continue to support our family run Auction.

@Shinus73 Running this monthly auction and finding those customers who are willing to put their coins up without some type of reserve is extremely difficult. We do get collections submitted where we are given the reigns to sell and list at the prices we believe are fair, but as you can appreciate it's not easy to provide that month in month out. 
We really do appreciate everyone who takes the time to look and bid though and we will keep striving to get the bargains in there. 😜👍 Hopefully you'll see more of these as we grow.

@NGMD Thank you for taking the time to set up a discussion area for our auction. Just to reiterate we do not share any bidding information and whilst we cannot control if customers want to discuss bidding we suspect most will not want to make this public knowledge.
With regards to the running of the auction,  we have strived to create a transparent platform for customers to sell and buy. As far as I am aware we are now the only auction to offer - 0% Buyers Premium, A Free phone number to contact us on and reserves for our consigners. Our 10% commission (which is lower if you are a TSF member) is one of the lowest in the industry. We intend to continue to offer this great service with the help and support of our customers. 
We do our upmost to start coins as low as possible, and a good indication of the reserve can be usually be found on the low estimate. When a coin is bid at the start price and doesn't meet reserve the item will not sell, however often reserves are lowered during the pre-bidding stage so we actively encourage pre bidding as the reserve CAN be altered during the auction. It will never be higher, but it can be lowered if the consigner agrees.
Unlike most auctions we are 90% about consignments - meaning we do not buy the stock and auction it off ourselves. Being a fairly new auction we rely on the consignments from the general public which can be challenging managing  expectations. We have other challengers also including the moving gold price and the moving market. Of course we want every lot to sell, but this is not typical of most auctions especially one which is still building it's audience.

Clearly, under these circumstances, I prefer buying to selling. 🙂
