Why give up 20 percent to an AH and risk a weak sale, if you can sell it direct?

The question was asked because the OP said he was sending it to auction a couple of months ago.

Yes, I read the thread, but obviously he changed his mind or he would have sent it.

So what's your point? It's his card he can do what he wants.

FWIW- any AH today would offer 0% seller's fee to auction this caliber of a card...he could probably negotiate to get a few % points of buyer's premium. Very common these days with big ticket items. |

the OP point was whatever the BP is with the AH, it could of gone in theory straight into the consignor pocket if no AH was in play....IF he can find a direct sale...if you you cant...saving 20% of 0 is still making zero..

Not sure I completely agree. Your theory might be right, BUT in your direct sale scenario, there is ONE "bidder". At a top-tier auction, there would most likely be several people with deep pockets pushing each other up, very possibly to a level beyond what a private sale would've achieved.

Or one bidder and the consignor.

in addition, when the seller quotes a price and says 'if not sell will send it to an auction' and still receives no takers...its probably an indication that hes asking more than market price if the potential buyers would rather bid at an auction of the card with competition then a direct sale.
