In one of their previous auctions, I won an 8x10 photo for $1000. The buyer's premium was 25%, which added $250 to price. Then shipping was an additional $179, so I had to pay $1429 total. Compare this with my recent Heritage Auctions invoice which was ~$36K, which also had a photo roughly the same size (incl holder) and the total shipping, handling, insurance was only $98. Granted, Christies packaged the photo like it was the Mona Lisa, but it was still way overkill.
