If a consignment company wants my business, they can have between 5% to 10% of the all-in price paid by the buyer for anything above $1k. If they want more than that, they're getting my middle finger instead because there are plenty of great options at those rates that will yield just as strong of hammer prices.
Being new to consignments....is this how it works? Say you send a card to an AH, and it sells for $2000. You'd get something like 105% or 110% of that? (and nothing else out of pocket?). And so auction houses just make their $ on the remainder of the BP?

(And do sellers set minimums....or the AH?....or do you just trust enough eyes get on your card that it reaches projected market value?)
