Posted By: <b>william</b><p>howdy folks,<br /><br />i am curious as to what are the typical fees a buyer pays for cards/collections of cards in a private one to one sale facilitated by a collectibles "broker" as well as typical but reasonable buyers premium at the different online/offline card auctions.<br /><br />thanks in advance! cheers

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I think that there are too many variables to give an exact answer. If it were $1000 lot it might be one percentage and if it were a $500,000 lot it could be another. If I had to take a stab at an amount for a larger transaction I would say that 5%-10% could be in line....but this is just a guess. I don't think there will be a right or wrong answer....

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I agree with Leon. I would say 10% is a fair finder's fee for a good modest sized collection, and that fee could be negotiated down for a substantial one.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I will gladly pay you 5%-10% (of card value) if you can negotiate on my behalf a trade for a T206 Wagner using a previously discussed card. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>1880nonsports</b><p>I just happen to be in the market for lots of T206's in lower grades. Find me some and we'll tawk (I'm originally from new yawk....). I have found 5/6 larger $ items for DEALERS/AUCTIONEERS and have gotten about 5% for doing so.....
