<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3559919, member: 84744&quot;]I sympathize, but as the proprietor of a fledgling auction business, I can tell you that I now understand it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; If the coins are on consignment, there has to be some way of paying the auction house for the enormous amount of time &amp; expense involved in listing the coins, advertising the auction, and general admin.&nbsp; This used to be done primarily by charging the consignor; now the norm is to primarily charge the buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Valentinian that the way Heritage does it is best (I wish biddr had this feature); failing that the buyer&#039;s fee should be easily discoverable.</p><p><br /></p><p>With reference to the OP, one thing I find irritating is when there&#039;s no indication of where the current bidding is, and you just send your bid into a black hole. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Lots of time is wasted as a result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
