Can you help me understand the “buyer’s premium”? Does this mean that the current owner, aka seller keep all the proceeds form the sell w/ the exception of the buyer’s premium, or does the action company still take a commission and get the buyer’s premium?
I may be incorrect but I believe it means that if you bid $1000 and win you pay $1000 + 15% + 9.5% for Kevin, so on $1000 gun you pay right at $1250. Remember that when you bid.. Then theres the shipping and FFL if shipped. :blush:

I understand what the buyer pays, just trying to figure out why the extra “buyer’s premium”. I mean, if the auction company is all ready getting a commission, then?
If the folks running the auction need to clear more money, why not just raise the commission instead of adding another fee.
