Warning: SuperiorAuctions ---- 20% commission fee

SuperiorAuctions will charge 20% commission for their live auction this time. I hope they are only charging this due to the live National auction and ebay live auction costs for this August auction. Their usual 15% has been killing everyone already. The worst thing is they didn't announce the commission fee change at all. Bid accordingly guys!!

I bid in a different eBay Live auction and the rate was also 20 percent, so I suspect that it is a live auction thing. Before and after you place a bid, they clearly point out the 20 percent charge and even due the math for you ($200 bid = $200 + $40 = $240). The bidders shouldn't fear that it's only in the fine print. I also agree that 20 percent is hefty charge.

I believe it is 20% if you bid on ebay and 15% if you bid on the Superior site - not certain what it is if you bid live (probably 15%)

Only the Ebay Live winning bids are subject to the 20% commission. Winning bids taken in all other forms are subject to the standard 15%.

I don't know WHAT I've been bidding on--whenever I get outbid, they send a phone number, and tell me it' will be answered, and it never IS., So then I go somewhere on the net and bid-probably ebay--how should I know? Since everything in their auction is going to wind up live at the National, how do they figure in your bidding on ebay?

If I win that card, it will be a mackeral. Or smelt.

You should sell one of your OJ Kelly's and fly to the National this weekend!

and won some perfect Scrapps from Barry Sloate--and some other stuff.

Today I'm going to Amsterdam Art to get a pastel framed, and to Mr. Mopps to buy dollhouse furniture for my granddaughter--and then I'm going to twiddle and wait for Superior to call me from the National with outrageous news about the present price of my card.

Have fun, all you guys! Maybe Cleveland...
