My consignment agreement requires consignors to pay all listing fees. These auctions are a perfect example as to why I do that.
Thanks for the explanation Daniel.
I've dabbled in accepting consignments myself but tried to keep it simple with flat percentages on the winning bids. I wouldn't accept items if the consignor wanted a reserve and would usually just point them to one of the bigger auction houses if they weren't comfortable with getting whatever the market would bear at the time.
