Couldn't agree more. To go back to my live auction example. If we're on lot 32 and it gets another bid that doesn't mean someone can say "Hey I want to bid on lot 24 because lot 32 is still open!"

I get what you guys are saying. By "unfair" I just meant that it is frustrating that it can become a contest of whomever can stay awake later...

We have been saying this since AH's started doing auctions. Everyone should quit consigning to AH's that want to make us stay up all night. That might get their attention.

And don't forget to check beforehand if the winning bid will also be assessed state sales tax...it varies from auction house to auction house, and also can depend on what state you live in.

Wait...so auction houses charge the sellers a 25% consignment fee AND buyers a 20% fee? And then possibly sales tax on top?!! What a freaking racket. These auction houses are just wringing collectors dry and getting rich in the process.

How do they stay in business?!

I thought that was the same with eBay. Do they charge sales tax for everyone?

I suggest reading the auction rules, terms and conditions before you bid. If you don't know what a buyer's premium is, if you win a lot in an auction, you will find out LOL

. . . and lets not forget about the impact and fun that "shipping and handling" charges bring to the buyer's total cost

Make sure you read all the rules of the auction. They all add a buyers premium.

Definitely the West Coast has the advantage because of when the auction ends. I like individual lots closing if no bids on them for 10-15 minutes after 9pm. This gives everyone a chance at a reasonable hour. Why keep all the lots open until 4-5 am. ?

Hordfest/Brandon shouldn't have to pay any seller's premium.

I'm fine with modified closing a number of AH have adopted where lots can close after midnight or 1 if there has been no bid in the last hour.

I think that's fair to consignors and bidders.
