Recommendations for Auction Houses - rare, high value cards

[brunswickreeves]

For super rare a high value cards, a competitive AH will charge 0% seller’s fee and may actually give the seller +3-5% of the +20% buyer’s fee = +15-17% to AH.

If honesty and integrity are important factors to you, then consider REA and LOTG. Both will offer you a very competitive rate as well.

Very interesting- is the rationale that a super rare or high end item draw in more consignments and buyers as well?

I've mildly been contemplating selling a few cards, $1-5.k each. Heritage seems to get very healthy bids, I rarely win anything even when I bid solid. Does anyone know if Heritage offer 0% to the seller ? Or are they too big and not often negotiate on consignments?

It might depend on what and how much you’re sending to them…

ImO the won't even get back to you unless they feel it is 50k or more. When I consigned my 52 signed set, I didn't even get a return call or email

And to emphasize the fact further, don’t focus so much on which auction house will give you the greater % of their BP. It’s probably better worth your time to figure out where you’ll get the most eyes & bidders. Getting 5% of the BP is nice, but far less than finding a place that’ll get you a 20% higher final price.

Could also be a factor that 15% of a big sales price is still a nice commission for the AH, in raw dollar terms.
