Really...Many waive the sellers premium? Which ones? And for what criteria?

I guess it depends on your definition of "many". But I suspect that many more aren't having their sellers fees waived. I haven't sold anything through an auction house yet, so I can't speak to that. I'd be curious to hear from those that have.

As to how to stay in business. Be excellent at what you do.

I have NEVER paid a sellers "fee or premium" when selling through an auction house...NEVER! Most AH's will waive these fees if your submission is somewhat significant. On the other hand I have ALWAYS paid a buyers premium...ALWAYS!

Ditto... I would never even consider consigning to an AH that would charge me both a seller's premium and buyer's premium. There are just too many auction houses to choose from now a days that competition has made the seller's premium model a thing of the past.

There's no "I" in many.
