Labeling it a “buyer’s premium” tends to suggest that it is not a "commission" and that the buyer pays the “buyer’s premium”. That’s a bullshit framing, but a significant percentage of the public falls for it.

If I went to my clients and said we don't charge BP but we charge a higher commission I don't think I could talk fast enough to make that work.
Kevin Savage Auctions has no buyers premium added onto final bids. I have never looked into consigning with them so I don't know what their consignment fees are, but they have to be getting paid by someone to stay in business.

Most or all of the material that they offer is owned by them...

Kevin Savage is largely not a consignment model. They are the owners of the vast majority of the cards they sell. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not an apples to apples comparison.

EDIT. Should have read Scott's reply before I posted.

Good to know. I was not aware of that.
