They just keep going to numbers that are sometimes much higher than what you would pay if you were to buy the same item at a bourse. </p><p><br /></p><p>My advice is NEVER by &quot;a widget&quot; in an auction. Stick to the stuff you can&#039;t find anywhere else. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another factor is the buyers fee that Heritage charges for some things. For political items, their rate is 25%. The other political items auction houses charge 15%. Many times you can buy the same thing for less from those sellers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another factor is that many big consignors get more than the hammer price. That means the Heritage is giving them a break to get the consignment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
