How long does it takes Stacks and Bowers to ship out their coins to the winners? I still haven't received tracking or any notification that the package has been shipped

It takes awhile. 2-3 weeks but it will come and you’ll get email notification about it. I’ve only bought a single item on a pre bid I made, as typically stacks is WAY over priced. But this auction it seems like the 306 lots held pricing down, or maybe it was the multiples of the exact same coins. No matter how cheap you feel you won something, after an extra 20% buyers premium, sales tax, and shipping - it’s definitely not as cheap as you originally hoped. In my experience anyways. Maybe they shouldn’t allow normal satori’s anymore, or lot after lot of the same coins. Or do the auction on a Friday night and not an afternoon.

 Not trying to make trouble but it occured to me that you said as the buyer they added 20% premium to the final auction price? I was talking to a seller the other day and he said that the final auction price included the 20% premium and he received quite a bit less. Are they double dipping that 20% premium. 20 from the buyer plus 20 from the seller. Since all the buyers and sellers are here should be able to figure out pretty easily. Any thoughts?
