Agreed on both points.
At least with Heritage you can pay with a credit card and get something back. |

It seems that the buyer's premium would be almost entirely passed onto the consignor. When I bid, and I hope when most others bid, I price in the buyer's premium into the value of the item. If an item is worth $200, I will only bid $167 if there is a 20% BP. Thus, the consignor takes the entire hit. It would be interesting to do a study on this.

No doubt on the rise...could be from 0% deals on the sellers side from the auction houses to draw stuff out?
But agree if it gets any higher I will get better rates at the local pool hall from the guy in the back who loans money. ![]() ![]() |

Barry - I can make Elliot appear at will. I am even able to conjure him up in Cleveland, although he resents it.
Chris' point was one I didn't raise on my first post. Everyone offers 0% fees to sellers now. But if you're not paying attention to the BP when you're consigning, you can overestimate how you'll do since most buyers pay attention to the math. Edited to add, with more grumpiness: yes, I can pay Heritage with a cc. I'm now also able to pay them the horrific CA (California, not Canada) sales tax of close to 10%. Couldn't they have set up shop in, say, Idaho? Bill Last edited by bcornell; 03-02-2011 at 10:34 PM. |

"Hunts: 15%, I think, although their website is so awful that you can't learn anything from it."

I know at first this could possibly steer a consignor the other direction, but the buyer's would love such a low BP, more money to spend ![]() Clayton |

I don't get it? The buyers premium means nothing to a potential buyer. He has a total price he is willing to pay--how much of it is accounted for by the buyers premium is meaningless

I agree--the buyer has to and does factor the buyer's premium into the price he is ultimately paying for the card. When the premium is rising, as it has been for some time now, the seller simply nets less. He does, however, receive the benefit of the auction house's distribution network and publicity related to the auction, as well as the effort the auction house puts into depicting and describing the card, as well as often times the player himself (see Bill Goodwin's catalogues). As Barry correctly states, the auction house has to make a profit too.
