I was going to say, who pays seller's commission anyway? The norm is 0% seller's commission and you negotiate which part of the 20% of the buyer's fee you keep (if any).

I was not by any means saying I was going to do it. I just got the card. I was just trying to contribute to the thread. I personally have not sold anything through an AH but if I would there are plenty of threads to advise on how to do it.

I would agree with the earlier posts about postcards being as hot as they have ever been. I know that there are some early, very low pop Ruth and Cobb postcard editions out there that people are after...myself included. While some people aren't willing to add postcards to their collections, others have created a real niche that is becoming more mainstream. Many of the highly coveted postcards are now bringing huge sums of money at auction and through private sales.

From a purely esthetic standpoint, the postcards can be very nice. Especially the sepia tones. So much neat stuff coming to auction lately. Can't wait to see what REA has.
