Another auction

[buzzard pickins]

Just saw a blurb in GUNLIST the mag, of another KRAMER&KRAMER auction Jan 30th 2010.4H fairgrounds in eaton ohio.
I attended this sale last year and it was a good one. There was 20 tables of ammo and reloading componets.
I picked up a NIB pedersoli 10ga blackpowder sxs for $285. CABELAS PRICE is $699.
Kramer has the check-out and nics check down to a science, wait was almost non-existant. Gun list will be on there website JAN1.
See ya there.

i saw it said 15% buyers preimum. does that mean you pay the bid price + 15%.

Yep.

Yep.

that makes no sence to me. its just a way to trick folks into paying more than they intended on paying

It pays the auction houses fees. Auctioneers often get a percentage from the seller, too. Unfortunately, that % is seldom enough to meet their expenses, hence the premium. I don't care for them either, but I see their point. They have to make a living, too.

i have no problem with the auction charging. they are a business like any other. imo there fee should come from the seller so folks arn't sitting in the stands trying to figure out what the extra 15% would cost. mabye its just me it just seams kind of underhanded to me

But from a seller's standpoint, it's worse. Trying to figure out what the reserve needs to be after subtracting the 15% fee from the listed price. It's just like sales tax: the buyer pays it.

I THOUGHT it said 15% for absentee bids. If there is a buyers preimum I don't think there is a transfre fee.

I WILL CALL THEM ON MON AND FIND OUT.
