Which tells me that should be the price including a buyer's premium,
and if I'm buying from a seller that doesn't require a buyer's premium,
I should be paying less.  I certainly shouldn't be paying that sale price
plus buyer's premium PLUS another buyer's premium on top of it.
Otherwise, it's simply an artificial way for dealers to inch up the price.
Because it "sold" for the hammer price.  A Buyer's Premium -- or,
in normal business parlance, a commission -- was added to that
price after the auction.

I would agree with Sean on this. When someone calls me and asks what a Creature from the Black Lagoon one sheet will bring, I will look at our archive and say, "Here is what we have gotten for this item.." I would explain that the figure does include a Buyer's Premium, but that that is the going price in today's market. The "Hammer" price plus the "Buyer's Premium" is what the piece sold for and is thus, what the market should bring for the item. I have great respect for Rudy and his opinion, but I would always appraise value by what it brought in auction with the BP.

You buy a house for $200,000.  You pay taxes on the sale of
$16,000.  You buy a home warranty at the same time, through
the realty company, for $1000.  You've now paid $217,000.
You wrote a check for $217,000.

What is the value of the house?

Now what if you find out that the Real Estate company got a commission from the home owners and that the owners received less than $200K.

What’s the value of the house? What if the home was listed for $220K, but they accepted 200K, What if you sold the house the next day for $240K, what if a bear was walking in the woods, what if you find out Elvis slept in the house, Etc. etc., etc



I would argue you can’t count taxes and shipping, as they are costs that not every purchaser pays, but everyone pays the buyer’s premium.

I’m actually totally in shock at Rudy’s answer and he’s the first appraiser I’ve ever heard suggest such a thing. I was an appraiser for ASA, have done many more for insurance companies, estates, etc and never have heard of any other appraiser using the hammer price – they look at the final sales price including premium.



If anyone here on their insurance policy lists the hammer price as the value and not the full price with buyer’s premium (or if anyone lists what the seller’s net received was) I’d like to hear about it, as you’d be the first I know of to do such a thing.
