PSA Auction Prices question

[Smarti5051]

Do the "Auction Prices" listed on PSA from various auction houses include any buyers premium or fees imposed by the action house? In other words, if one buys a Mantle rookie for $40,000 in a Leland's auction, and they have a 20% buyer's premium, the buyer will effectively pay $48,000 for the card. On PSA, when they record the sale on their "Auction Prices" page, will they list the sale price as $40,000 or $48,000?

Pretty sure it is the all in price including the juice. Otherwise, the info is useless.

Includes the BP. See this auction from REA. Winning bid was $20K. Reported on that page as $24K. Shows up in APR for $24K as well.

Thank you, that makes alot more sense. I was comparing the auction prices to Ebay and wondering why anybody would pay the same or more for auction considering you have to tack on another 20%. Thankfully, the prices are truly comparing apples to apples. As you can see, I have not participated in any auctions previously, but I am tempted with some of the newest offerings from a couple houses.

+1 agree it includes buyers premium but it does not include taxes, shipping etc
