Considering that this particular AH's catalogs look more like a grocery store circular, I did not see the justification in offering 35% of the selling price to this entity.

Still looking to consign. I wish there was a resource that outlined the different fees for each of the AHs.

..are you sure of the numbers you were quoted ? 35% is off the charts...

I'm not a Mensa candidate, Mike, but I'm confident I understand what was told to me and the simple math involved. When I pushed back, I was told this is standard practice with most AH's. I'm not confident that's the case, however; hence my decision to look elsewhere.
