Exactly Jim (Dav).

Matro and Robert Edwards have sent me several requests to let me consign my stuff through them at a 0% seller's commission. This is the benefit to sellers of a competitive free marketplace.

But, these companies deserve to make money SOMEHOW...

so it does seem much fairer for them to make it all from the BUYERS and not the sellers.

After all...

without the sellers, the auction houses would make ZERO.

The buyers can just adjust their bids and factor in the sales commission to whatever they are willing to spend.

In the end...

the seller still makes 17.5% LESS than what the buyer was willing to pay...

but at least he is not getting hit TWICE by the auction houses!!
