some auction houses might really want your card or cards in their auction and they will incentive you. For example no seller fees or sometimes they will give a percentage "points back" from the buyers fee. So for example the buyer pays a 20% premium. The AH might pay you 1, 2, 3% etc from the buyers fee. So you would get whatever the gavel price on the auction plus those extra points from the buyer.

I get zero sellers fees and 30-50% from several AH on total lots as small as $5k - all vintage with minimal market volatility. If you don’t, go somewhere else; it’s competitive out there.

105%
Is 105% of hammer price the best you are likely to be able to do on a single item worth an estimated $20K?

Nothing wrong with that return.

No, just wondering if 105% is the best one can usually negotiate with a big auction house for 1 baseball item worth an estimated 20K?

Personally, I work with one AH here who is a longtime member and I know how hard he and his family work to sell my consignments, they do such a great job I would never ask for a piece of his end, but that's just me, I'm more into relationships than a 5% vig.

No offense, but your situation is not the same as mine. I have no allegiances to any auctioneer because I have never used one before. I am simply asking for opinions on my particular situation and what I should expect from auction companies from members who have auctioned an estimated 20K item in the past.
Can anyone address my very specific question? |
