Interesting PR release from Heritage

[Rich Klein]

Please note -- this was not clear if this was just for the stamp division or for ALL aspects of Heritage. I would hope that this reduction is for ALL aspects of Heritage. The PR release is noted below

After spending much of the summer talking to old friends and new, we and our colleagues at Heritage/Bennett have heard quite a few expressions of discomfort with our previous 19.5% buyer's premium.

We want you to know how much we value your feedback and, as a result of all these productive discussion, are acting on your suggestions. So beginning now, with our first Internet auction of this Fall 2009 season, our buyer's premium for all auctions — Internet and public — is just 15%.

We're pleased and heartened so many of you took the time to speak frankly with us and that your thoughts were well-considered and thoughtful. We're also thankful for the great number of you who had positive feedback about the first six months of our new association.

All of us in the stamp division look forward to continuing the establishment of Heritage/Bennett in the tradition of great stamp auction houses.
