Does Heritage tack on 20%?

I'm sure that they must add something on, but I don't know how much.

I've received an offer on my Plank through Heritage. It wasn't remotely close to what I would ask for it (it isn't for sale anyway).

Heritage takes 10%.

ETA: Heritage once reached out to me to confirm I still owned the card. I told them that I did, but wasn't interested in moving it. My sense is that the client probably requested them to ask if I still owned the card - but just a guess.

With the card I did sell, I received a couple offers that went without response before I realized it was something other than a SPAM email.

Thank you for the information.

You can turn on and off the "Make an Offer" option on the items that you own. I also believe that you can set a minimum price that someone can offer you.

I have made 5 or so offers and was actually able to make 2 nice purchases. Heritage does not charge the buyer anything - only the seller.

Just go to "My Collection" and you can set all the options:

Thanks for the responses. I made an offer once, and never heard a peep. Not even that the 72 hours was over ....

Hoping this time it gets accepted or countered

I've received very strong offers on 6 - 7 items over the years. I've only actually sold two, but that's just because I wasn't yet ready to sell the others.

It's a pretty "turn key" process that takes about 3 weeks to complete. You can also make counter-offers, similar to eBay's Best Offer feature. It's much faster compensation than consigning.... and you know exactly how much money you're going to realize. I think it's a nice feature for both the current owner and the prospective buyer.

I wish other auction houses would offer it. There is a ton of items I'd love to make an offer on.

I've bought an item or two off their make an offer program. I've also recieved many offers which I respond quickly to be polite. Just think if REA had that function with their data base!!!! Hint hint hint.
