Yes, 8.875% sales tax applies if you pick up. 25% buyers premium is kind of ridiculous, shipping costs (as noted here and in other threads) is egregious, and you can't enlarge images on their site (yes, there's a little zoom overlay feature, but we are all used to being able to enlarge scans to see finite details)...other than that, it's good, ha.

Looks like no one is bidding on their stuff. Same as last year. These guys are idiots.
Here's a secret: if you buy an item from them for $2000 that would go for $7500 in REA or Goodwin (with an 18% commission and only $50 dollars in shipping), Christies's shipping costs are a footnote. But don't spread that around to anyone. Mums the word. Last edited by Snapolit1; 08-22-2017 at 05:12 PM. |

The higher the BP, the less for the consignor.

Steve- I doubt $7500 items would go for only $2000, however. Also, I actually saw very strong prices last year.

I have seen good buys at Christies sports auctions even with the extra percentage points and shipping.
