<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2786385, member: 39084&quot;]Forgive my simple-minded way of paraphrasing this, but it boils down to &quot;The buyer bases his/her maximum bid on the hammer price plus associated fees.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m fairly familiar with coin auctions -- I&#039;ve acquired 2/3 of my coins at various auctions -- and of course the buyer&#039;s fee, my dealer&#039;s fee, et al., are part of the maximum bid consideration.&nbsp; So the Christie&#039;s antiquities auction is no different, other than factoring in its higher buyer&#039;s fee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
