Everything is negotiable.If you have high value graded items that require little research work by the auction house they will undoubtedly be willing to give an advance and points back on the buyers commission. How much of an advance, how many points back—depends what you negotiate. If you can’t get these things find another auction house. If you have a lower value consignment that requires a lot of work by the auction house to write it up then they will be less likely to negotiate with the consignor.
