Is the well running a little dry?

Memory Lane? Does such an auction house exist? It's not in the N54 Auction House list.

Some neat stuff. Some interesting descriptions. I love the one for the Kalzoo Bat that says it's high grade (has PSA AUTH designation). However, it does have a nice image.

Haven't used the AH lately. What is the general cost structure to consign with them? With record prices are they lowering the seller costs at all as they should be getting much more on their buyer premiums?

I just had a phone call from REA today for some Gretzky rookie card autos I had inquired about selling. They said they could do 5% seller fee.

I realize that for lower quality or mid level stuff a sellers' fee might be in order. There is work involved for sure. Not minimizing that.

High end stuff? Haven't paid a penny in sellers' commissions ever and never will. My high end commission could have gone elsewhere. I chose you. Good luck. Let's kick ass.

Spoke with an AH last year I've never dealt with before. Discussion focused on how much of the sellers' commission he could possibly cut. It was a short discussion. Major consignment went elsewhere.
