The Leon Luckey Type Card Collection – Bidding Ends on Thursday - August 13, 2015

[nolemmings]

Well isn't that just as irrational? If a card sells for $100 with a 20% BP, the consignor gets $100 and the AH $20. If there's no BP and the buyer still bids and pays $120, the consignor gets $100 and the AH gets $20 (assuming 1/6 fee to consignor). Isn't it rather silly to call out bidders who don't want to pay BP and say it makes no difference but not criticize consignors for the same lapse in logic if there is no BP and prices increase to where the buyer is paying the same price?

BTW Al Jurgela, congrats on that Matty--I can't stop staring at it.

it all adds up to the same thing..people include what the bp in their bids..

and on ebay..sellers factor into the ebay fees.......

it doesnt need to make sense...whatever the consignor wants goes.....some auctions houses give the consignor some of the buyers premium as well......
