Buyer Beware of Scams
Costea never weighed the coin. If they had, they would have know it is fake. I'm out over $500 but at least I've learned not to trust auction houses that don't verify if coins are real or not.

Willing to work with you
We were coming from out of state to pick up our items and we were running behind the scheduled time slot. Greg very graciously offered to go back and meet us when we arrived. Highly recommend this auction house!

Top Shelf Family Business ~ No worries here... They discuss problems and respond quickly...
Costea's know the business and most of their customers. Not too many problems here they haven't handled well before. I trust them...

After my first contact I asked an additional question about shipping and have not heard back. I have not received my item.

AVOID IF BUYING AMMO
Costeas preferred shipper does not ship ammo. I was unaware of this before placing my bids. as it is not stated in the description. I waited almost a week for the shipping invoice. Ony to find out after numerous calls, emails and text that their preferred shipper will not ship ammo. and my items were now accruing a storage fee. I was then told by greg he could pack the items up and drop them off at the ups location he provided for shipping, now he states he has to take them to an FFL which will charge a service fee, which is false information. The state of Pennsylvania does not require an ffl license to ship ammo. I have also contacted the ups location he provided and confirmed they would ship the ammo if it was prepackaged as they are not allowed to pack ammo. This how ordeal has turned into a nightmare. customer service is a joke. they will outright lie to you. And after reading reviews by other patrons, I would have not placed a bid with them. hopefully future bidders will read these reviews and take them into consideration as I should have.

Great people and great offerings.
I have purchased through Costea's several times and I have always found them to be accurate, responsive, and extremely helpful after the auctions are over. These folks have lots of experience and it shows. I look forward to many more transactions!
