Based on Steve's response via Leon, it looks to me like the consignor gets 60% of the total sale (hammer plus BP) and the AH gets 40%. In a vacuum, if the collection really took 2 trucks to haul away, I agree with Steve that that sounds like a massive amount of work (and payroll for his employees) to go through and scan and list. That's just looking at the monetary part.
It would be interesting to hear from other AH owners on how they structure taking a massive collection that is going to take them tons of hours to bring to market.
