This is ridiculous, is it really that hard to layout out a net return chart for 
potential customers.

Your items sells for 750 - 999.000 with buyers premium, you the buyer get .75 - 
.99 for that consigned item.

Hi Helmut,

Well I did get a perfunctory email, albeit no mention of how the BP affects
the final seller's net:
.

Hi Peter,



I believe your question was already answered.



Consignment rates vary depending on category and auction format. Heritage
sells over 40 categories of collectibles, all with very different markets.



As with every other auction venue, the seller’s fee (expressed as a
percentage of hammer) is deducted from the hammer price (winning bid
amount) realized by a lot. The seller’s fee is agreed to and memorialized
in a consignment contract.



If the seller’s fee was 25% of hammer for a lot that sells for $1000 or
less, the seller would net $37.50.



I’ve shown you where to locate buyer’s premium information for each
auction. Any bid you place on the website will tell you what the resultant
purchase price would be if you were to win the auction at that bid amount.
