to a seller, any premium above a few points starts becoming a negative
every point the premium goes up is another point taken from the
consignor because if a buyer was willing to pay $1000 with premium
included before, when the premium gets raised, the buyer doesn't say
"oh, that dealer is taking a beating.. I'll kick in the extra 5%"
No.. you instead bid a number lower than you previously would have
and the final sale to the consignor is less
for the buyer's side.. it shouldn't make any difference what the
premium is. If you were willing to pay $1000 total before, you're
still only willing to pay $1000

I thought buyer's premium @ 15% was just too damn high, but looking
at Julien's auction is now 28% and Bonham's, 22%. When is enough
going to be enough?
Ebay is starting to look good again!
