Everyone charges a seller's fee. Not everyone has $100,000 consignments.

If someone has a six figure consignment they can get a decent portion of the buyer’s premium, as well as not paying any seller’s fee. I would bet it would not be a problem to find a good auction house who would charge no seller’s commission on a $5,000 consignment, assuming it is not one hundred $50 lots. In case you haven’t noticed, you can’t take three steps and not trip over an auction house. If one insists on charging a seller’s fee wish them a good life and find another.

I have only consigned twice (and not with $100,000 items) once with REA who charged me no consignment fees, and once with LOTG who also charged me no consignment fees.

Maybe I just got crap stuff because the time I consgined with REA, I got charged 10% from them as well......

I’ve consigned one card (not high dollar..... 600-700 bucks) in my life to Goodwin and was not charged a sellers fee.

I consigned to Goodwin as well and wasn't charged either. I don't think I did outstanding on the consignment either....

I didn't say I was UNHAPPY with REA...I said I was charged a consignment fee. As far as auction houses where everything went smooth. REA & PWCC come to mind (although it takes a while to get your proceeds back from PWCC due to having to wait until the ENTIRE auction was finished). REA was probably the best. But I was charged a consignment fee with them.

Every time I try to unload my beanie babies all of the AHs want to charge a sellers fee and I don't understand why. Same thing with the big box of crap good stuff, I want to give them. I guess it's just me.
