a 10% buyers premium?? What a rip off. Even if it was not a fixed price sale whatever happened to the sales peeps/auction peeps just taking a commission? I have not been to an auction for many years and was 9and still remain) pissed off when found out they wanted an extra 15% when I went to pay. Too much greed in the industry. I should not have to worry about calculating the cost with all the add-ons, just bid and be done at that price. I know some auction houses charge 30% commission and a 20% buyer's premium so they end up with 50% of the hammer price and the seller gets 70%. The buyer's premiums seem to be getting higher all the time
