VCA Auction

[CoinOpBuyer]

Does anyone know what the buyer's premium is for the upcoming VCA Auction?

I could not find it listed on their website.

This is what they charged 5/5/2012.
VCA Auction held in May of 2012. Price does NOT include buyers permium (12% if check / cash is used, 15% for credit cards, 20% for phone and Internet bids)

I know they charged 12% at the previous auction. Before that the premium was always 10%.

If it is 12% then I am going to skip this auction. 10% was difficult to swallow. I am not paying an additional 2%. By the time I pay for travel, hotel, meals, etc. it is too expensive.

There is nothing at this auction to justify 12%. The last auction had a lot of really good stuff.

If anyone knows for sure what they are charging please reply.

I don't know but since it was 12% last time and prices were strong, I'm guessing it will be the same this time. These things usually don't go backwards but we'll see.

Add the shipping to the 28.10% for the internet and phone bidders sure raises the final cost.

I always try to keep that in mind when bidding at these type of auctions.

Thanks. I also just received the catalog. I was on the fence and the 2% pushed me over the edge. I have decided to skip VCA just like I have skipped all the Morphy auctions. I don't see why VCA needs to charge us 20% more than they have in the past. Have they reduced what they charge the sellers? The 20% that Morphy charges is obscene and I don't think I will ever take the time to attend one of their auctions.

At least I will have more money for the Chicago show.
