All auction houses seem to take huge cuts. At traditional auction houses
there are often buyer and seller premiums.
So a place local to me reports the following :-
Based on the amount provided here is a breakdown of the additional charges
you will receive if you bid on a dash-cam :-
Name Value VAT
Bid Amount £32.00 £6.40
Buyers Premium £6.40 £1.28
Internet Charge £1.60 £0.32
Lot Processing Fee £1.00 £0.20
Total Price £49.20
So if I bid £32.00 I pay £49.20. Makes E-Bay look cheap
Indeed. Typically, in high-end houses, if you bid in an auction and you
win an item with a bid of $10,000, you are also paying a 25% "buyer's
premium" on top of that, so your subtotal is now $12,500. RR Auction,
Christie's, Southeby's, etc.

But you can re-list at different prices...
Eh, you get a lot of free listings these days. They take a huge chunk
though.
