<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3559853, member: 44316&quot;]I just spent 5 minutes trying to discover the buyer&#039;s fee on the web pages of the upcoming Bertolami Fine Arts sale. Boy, do they bury it deep in the terms of sale and give it no emphasis whatsoever. (It turns out to be 20%.) It is almost like they don&#039;t want you to know. It is irritating that the fee is so hard to find!</p><p><br /></p><p>In contrast, Heritage has the buyer&#039;s fee right there alongside the place to bid so you can&#039;t miss it. You see it, not just as a percentage, but also added in, so you will see the total you are actually bidding too. Heritage does it right.</p><p><br /></p><p>One firm I know has a 30% buyer&#039;s fee, so the fee can make quite a difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are there things that irritate you about auctions? Let us know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
