| 367.1 | Try Fred's Auction. | IAMOK::GASPARONI | | Wed Dec 18 1991 12:57 | 7 |
| I saw one go at an auction in Concord about a year ago. It went for
around $25 to $45 at the time. I know it wasn't real high, with not
alot of interest. Looks like a good item to consign to an auction,
which would bring you in about 80% of the take. Just an idea, in case
there isn't alot of interest. Fred Harris of the Concord Card Shop
takes in Consignments for his store, or auction, he takes 20% of the
kill, his number is (508) 371-2300.

20%???????
That's outrageous.
The highest I've heard of before was 10%, but I'm not very worldly
in the way of auctions either.

| 367.3 | 20% is Standard?? | IAMOK::GASPARONI | | Thu Dec 19 1991 14:00 | 6 |
| I thought 20% was pretty standard in the industry. I know a shop in
NH takes 20% on Consigned goods. I dont necessary agree, but its
better than holding something you dont have any use for. Auctions are
becoming very popular around here. And very unethical to say the
least! Watch out for those "Plants" in the audience. They bid up the
prices and back off once the item is high enough.

Mr. Mint only takes 7%.
Most auctions I've seen listed in SCD (the results), usually only
include a 10% buyer's premium for the auction "house".
I always assumed 7-10% was average.
If I can sell my $1,000 (price guide) card for $800 -- I'll find
a collector who wants it. I still don't get the $200 but neither
does the auction house. Sure I have to do the work myself, and I
may not realize a possible over-bid, but 20%?

| 367.5 | Typical auction house buyer/consignor %'s | REMACP::RICHARDSON | | Fri Dec 20 1991 09:25 | 7 |

re: Auctions
You, the buyer, will pay from 0% - 10% (usually either/or) above the
purchase price. The auction house charges the consignor typicaly
20%. Many have a standard of a single item/lot selling under $500
they charge 20%, $500-$999 = 15%, over $1000 = 10% commission.

| 367.6 | LP titled, "The Big Red Machine" | SMURF::BREAU | Where was Bush when Reagan slept? | Tue Dec 31 1991 12:18 | 11 |

I also have a similar item that I don't know the value of, and would
consider offers for. It's an unopened LP about the season of the 1970
Cincinnati Reds, titled "The Big Red Machine"; it has a cartoon picture
on the front featuring the Reds players driving a big red machine
waving bats and shooting baseballs. It's narrated by Jim McIntyre and
Joe Nuxhall.
I imagine this would fetch a better price in the Cincy area?

| I have some things out at stores on consignment. I tell the shop owner
what i want for the card. The shop owner marks it up over that point
and keeps the difference.
