So for instance...I want to sell an item and lets say it goes for $1,000. Well, when you consign it to the AH, you agree on a fee, lets say 5% in this case. So, if the hammer drops on final bid at $1,000...I get 95% of that so $950. THe buyer of that lot pays the $1,000 + 20% BP, so they are paying $1,200 for that item. The AH makes $250 in that case.
If you're selling with an auction house that charges a consignment fee you're going to the wrong one. Depending on the value of the cards (nothing super low) you should be getting 0%
