Most AH charge 0% to consignors and in fact many give part of the BP to the consignors in an effort to bring collectors great material. That has become the hobby standard.
The AH needs to make money. They charge a fee at the end which is paid by buyers. Factor it in. If that concept is too hard for some to figure out maybe they should not be bidding. Nobody is paying more or being hoodwinked because of the fee.
If one compares the offerings on eBay auctions to those offered in a catalog type auction, there is no comparison. Fewer sellers are even doing the auction format. Since PWCC is gone there is next to nothing that gets listed in the auction format. So ya get what ya pay for. If ya like eBay better because the price you bid is essentially the price ya pay then shop there.
