Hello, So my sister who lives in NY and I were going over the action. There are a couple of peice I love and would dearly like to own... THEN I looked a the buyer's premium percentage and about died. It's 23%! You basically add $100-$200 to the listing prices - it's more for higher priced stuff as it's added after the hammer price. so that $100 bit of lace becomes $125 THEN they add shiping and a $15 handeling fee...you are looking at 200 in the end. That rate is marginally less than Sotheby's, but only just. A nice dream, but not in this economy.
As much as I'd love to own something like that I'd much rather take a vacation to Italy or someplace and find something in an antique store...that may cost me more in the end, but it's much more enjoyable.
