increase in auction buyers premium

[jboosted92]

was i asleep at the wheel, when they all jumped above 20% , WTH

I've been actively using auction sites probably the last 3-4 years...and they've all been around 20% since I've been searching them. A bit steep so I don't buy much unless its something I absolutely need for my collection.

I sure do miss the old days when my "Sports Collectors Digest" would arrive. It was smaller and fatter in those days with lots of great ads....and very few auctions.

20%? Dump the Auctions.

thats why the only auction I'd consign to is BST

Probably the reason for PWCC and Probstein's following(lack of hammer fees).

[ALR-bishop]

As strictly a buyer I do not care what premium is applied on the sale, only that I know what is is up front so that I can factor it into the price I am willing to pay for the item. I get more annoyed by unstated/unexpectedly high shipping/insurance charges

[frankbmd]

One would think that the hammer price for an item in a 0% Buyer's Premium auction would be about 20% higher than the hammer price for the same item in a 20% Buyer's Premium auction................


but then again that would presume that all bidders are thinking.

they both have hammer fees. PWCC's are just as bad as the major AH's. At least Probsteins are reasonable
