Hal LewisI assume that this is because Mastro is no longer able to charge a "seller's premium" since other major auctions are accepting high quality consignments on a 0% commission basis.
Thus, Mastro will be able to get more high quality items in their auctions... because sellers do NOT want to get hit with commissions if possible...
and buyers will be the sole source of profits for Mastro and all major auction houses.
In the end, it really doesn't affect the price of cards.
If you bid $1,000...
the whole World knows that you really paid $1,175 for the card...
so the card is really worth $1,175.
QUESTION:
If the same card sold on EBay for $1,175...
how much would the seller end up with after EBay fees???
If the answer is a lot more than $1,000...
then EBay is becoming an even better mode of sale than major auction houses.
