Thanks to everyone who responded and help educate me about this process. Four auctions houses expressed interest in selling my item. Interesting, estimates for it varied widely. Among those auction houses I was offered between 0-10% of the buyers premium for a hammer % of between 100% and 110%. I selected the auction house that I thought showed the most excitement about my item and felt they would do the most to advertise it. I signed the electronic contract today.

Thanks again!
