[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1548136, member: 5066"]It's actually worse than that, many auction houses now charge an additional 3% if you pay with a CC/Debit card, not to mention they ALL charge sales tax as well. Add it all up and you are in the 33% - 38% range added to hammer price. I can remember a HUGE hue & cry when auction houses went to a 25% BP, those are now regarded as the good old days. Correct! LiveAuctioneers is just a middle man that charges 3% if you use their platform. Naturally, the auction houses tack on that 3 points which is how it went from 25% to 28% to begin with. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
