<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Revello, post: 7856139, member: 103898&quot;]First, I think it&#039;s a question of what you consider a &quot;generic&quot; auctioneer.&nbsp; I tend to categorize them more as a good, average, or below average auctioneer, and Jeff ranks at the top of the scales of good, imho.&nbsp; Second, Yes, there is a 20% BP, but have you consigned much to online auctioneers?&nbsp; Many (no, make that most) will charge you a seller&#039;s commission (10 to 20%) and then also charge the buyer a buyer&#039;s commission of 10 to 18%, getting commission on both ends.&nbsp; In those arrangements, it&#039;s definitely a losing proposition for consignors.&nbsp; For the 20% that Jeff charges to the buyers, you at least know (as the consignor) that he has a large online auction following due to his integrity and reliability (and quality of his offerings), that he&#039;ll deal with the hassles of collecting payments, insuring deliveries, handling the mailing costs, and provide you with professional documents regarding your consignment and sales.&nbsp; In the alternative, you can go with Ebay, pay about 15% in commissions and other related fees, pay the shipping/insurance costs (unless you charge it to the buyer), deal with USPS, FEDEX, or UPS (whomever you choose to ship), and deal with payment collection and return hassles if they arise.&nbsp; Just saying that dealing with good auctioneers such as Jeff/MintProducts Auctioneers will probably net you just as much as trying to sell on Ebay, but without the Ebay-related hassles that Ricardo Vales&#039; thread described.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
