Major auction houses deal in rare expensive stuff and in that world apart from your end of auction hammerprice you get ripped off but the thing is most people buying in auction houses auctions have so much money they don't even realize they get ripped off , and they don't really care anyway . You go to a hotel that costs you 1500$ a night , you don't get anything that is really worth 1500$ ... 2/3 of what you pay major auction houses or their specialised shipping partners to ship can be considered as scam . filip Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:29:48 +0100 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] NT Delivery times on Posters To: [email protected]
"However, some auction houses do not have shipping departments at all. They leave it up to you to arrange shipping, despite the fact that they encourage interstate and international bidders. I recently bid on an auction interstate and it was considerably cheaper for me to pay for a flight and accommodation rather than pay the ridiculous fee that the third party packing agent wanted." John, that is a real SOB to find out. Had the same experience with auctions in Canada and Italy. Actually I have the problem right now. Ecxellent communication until I asked for the shipping arrangements. Now they are also closed for the Season. Sure hope I don't have to pay for a fight, usually I have a 4" height advance over Italians.
