Dirge Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Cor 18% buyers premium. Can anyone explain to me what an auction house does for the buyer for the fee? I can never understand why the various international trading standards people don't say "Make up your mind whether you are charging the buyer or the seller; you can't act for both". I wonder why the very fact that they charge a buyer's premium doesn't knock the 'caveat emptor' bit into touch. After all, doesn't the fact that they are charging the buyer imply some obligation to look after him?
Hooves Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 "estimate $300 to $500"someone is in for a surprise! perhaps the estimator worked on the "Antiques Road Show ", though they always seemed to overestimate (not underestimate) when it came to musical instruments. Its been a long while since I have seen that show (lost interest after an estimate on an arch top guitar I thought sounded like baloney, and the bloated estimate for one of the Traveling Willbury promo guitars).

Stephen Chambers Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 eight THOUSAND BUCKS?!?!?!?!? Nope, with the 18% Buyer's Premium, somebody's paid $9,440.00 for it. Or maybe it was the "Coronet"...
Stephen Chambers Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 ... with the 18% Buyer's Premium, somebody's paid $9,440.00 for it. Maybe plus 5.0% Maine sales tax? Which would make it $9,912.00.
