Or get a resellers license. That's how I get out of paying sales tax. As far as people asking about seller's fees, I've always been able to negotiate negative rates (ie the auction houses pay me a percentage over hammer). However, I typically consign $10k+ at a time.

Oh, and I factor in shipping and premiums on all my bids. I have a spreadsheet that tracks it since each house has different rules.

I've won tons of stuff through heritage. I love those guys, their auctions are always fun. A lot of it runs past my budget pretty quick, but it's still fun to try!

I'm sure yours is the typical experience.

Hey man, y'all asked. I'm giving you an actual data point. Take it for what it's worth. I know Sirius publishes negative rates too. Go check their website
