Is 29.5% (or thereabouts) "additional fees" standard for such auctions?
The trend is for buyers' fees to be up at those levels now.....so that's a higher percentage even on top of the hammer prices which have generally soared over recent decades.
Still, if you receive a competent and honest service from the auction house such as to allow bidders to be sure of what they are bidding upon, perhaps it could be justified.
< cough >
That's one of the cheap ones... a lot are 37%!!
Plus on top of that there are postage fees, either severely inflated by the auction house or recommending a third party (mailboxes.com are about 35 quid now!).
Auctions are not for the faint of heart.![]()
Factor in the fees they also take from the seller and it seems that they seem to be banking about 50% of the hammer price. They have gotten insanely greedy in recent years. I'm in the wrong line of work.
