As a seller, I like no or very low seller's premiums, a good client list, accurate descriptions, quick payment, and breaking down or bunching cards into lots so as to maximize sales amounts. Looking fancy with slick ads and catalogs isn't as important as accurately described lots that have sufficient information so as to interest buyers.

I think Jim is correct that the buyer's premium is of minimal consequence, it is but a factor in considering what to bid.

As a buyer it is good to bid where you have good, accurate information about the lot and you're wondering "where do they find this stuff", as a seller it is great when the auctioneer has gone around and found 3 or 4 folks that really want what you're selling and they bid it up!!
