Default Consignment Fees

Hello members,

I wanted to get your advice on something.

I have sold a few different items to high end sports auction houses for $10,000+.

I have always just assumed the consignment fees are non-negotiable (15-20%). However, I was informed that sometimes you can negotiate the seller fees.

My question is, should I have been able to negotiate ZERO fees on those items $10K and above? If not, what is the dollar amount where auction houses will eliminate those seller fees?

Any advice would be much appreciated for any future sales I might have.

Thanks!

Most auction houses don't charge any fees when you sell items to them. But it dose not surprise me they would try.

Default Presuming you mean consigned?

If you consigned items most auction houses would not charge a consignment fee for10k+. If you actually sold the items to them and they deducted a fee - shame on them!

To be clear there are sellers AND buyers fees. On a 10k consignment you generally shouldn't need to pay a sellers fee and can usually get a few percent back from the buyers premium. If the AH says no to any points back just PM me, I will hook you up with several AH advertisers that will.

That's good to know. Would that only apply to $10,000+ consignments Leon?

There's no set rules, but I doubt a consignment valued under $10k, you'd get any percentage back from buyer's premium. I'd even think the piece might need to be valued $15K+, but if Leon can hook you...jump at that.

Not necessarily. Every situation and company is different. I have a pretty good rapport with most of our advertisers and am always eager to help them and our members. I have given serious thought to having a Net54 consignment consulting service but haven't moved forward on it yet. I have been able to help numerous members in the past. And I work cheap ie....free.
