<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 7870840, member: 246&quot;]No moving the goal posts. And 100% accurate. I know you don&#039;t want to believe it, but when an auction house charges a 20% buyers fee, no one in their right mind consigns and also pays a sellers fee. 100% of hammer is just the norm. The fact that I prefer to group for better rates doesn&#039;t mean that 100% hammer isn&#039;t the norm. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently consigned with an auction house for the first time. It was a very small consignment - about $5K of coins. Their first offer was 100% hammer. No negotiation, just flat out first offer of 100% hammer. </p><p><br /></p><p>First offer from another auction house was 105% on a relatively small (~$10K) consignment. Ended up grouping it and they went to 107% on coins under $1K and 110% on coins over $1K. </p><p><br /></p><p>An auction house instantly offered 110% hammer on a $100K+ consignment. No negotiation necessary for 110% as that was their initial offer. They ended up throwing in no fees on coins that don&#039;t meet the reserve and TPG regrades were also at their cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
