No worries.
I know people like to gripe about stuff but sometimes that gripe can turn into something positive too. Al got to clarify this situation so now members, and folks who only read the board, will know the rules concerning the BP.
There are several AH's that now charge an uptick in BP if paying by PP or CC. But I usually just figure 20% BP on my bids for all AH auctions when I am bidding. If it is 1-2 percent more or less, it's not that big of a deal to me. I am old school and will usually just put a check in the mail for lots won so I get the lower fee.
But I do agree, people (collectors) will always find something to gripe about. I don't see how an extra option should be looked at unfavorably but who am I to say?
"This board" is an inanimate object though and they don't gripe (much). Now get back to some Cracker Jacks....and looking at LOTG's new auction in more detail....

Al walks on water. Just saying.

I have dealt with Al many times and have no concerns about bidding on any LOTG auction. As many on the Board have said, the premium (and taxes and shipping costs) are all factors to be taken into account when determining how much to bid on any piece. A $100 card is a $100 card whether sold on Ebay, Christies, LOTG or anywhere else and, when bidding for such a card, I bid $100 minus the expected premium, shipping and tax.

Al uses all these undue funds to continue his 1%'er lifestyle, probably voting for certain candidates..........

Oh wait, no he doesn't.............

Like most have said......It's 20% if you pay the ONLY way most of the other auction houses let you pay. If you have money in your paypal or want to float it for 30 days or want to carry a balance on a card, you have that option. I'll take more options any day over having NO options with a similar kicker. The other benefit, as a more small/medium auction 'house', he has somewhat smaller lots where you don't have to spend $5K to get a $500 item out of a lot. That is also a benefit. I've gotten some great deals from LOTG and hope to continue.

I officially apologize for starting this thread.

My dealings with Al have always been extremely positive.

I admit when I first looked at the catalog and saw the buyers premium had been raised to 23% I was slightly surprised but as I kept reading I realized that I can simply pay by check or money order and the buyers premium remains at 20% like always.

Though it is only one mans opinion, I do not feel any ill effect from these terms and for me personally Love of the Game Auctions is still one of my favorite auction houses to go T206 hunting.

Much love to all, and a big thanks to Al for producing yet another exciting auction for us.

Respectfully,

Derek Hogue
