I noticed the buyers premium in some of the older catalogs use to be 12% and now up to 23% !

Have you noticed any correlation between the weight of the catalog and the size of the buyers premium?

I finally got a point not too long ago where I stopped calculating the BP and started establishing what I want to pay in total, and make my max bid 70% of that amount. I know it's just a different way to look at the same numbers, but that shift was the first time I really acknowledged the fact that the BP, along with shipping and tax, have become a significant part of the price tag.
