What is a buyer’s premium?

​

The buyer’s premium is a fee normally a percentage that is added to the winning bid.  Buyers premiums we use are between 5% to 18% and normally 10% depending on the sale and whether or not its conducted online.    The buyer’s premium is used to offset the costs of the sale.  For more details please check the auction event information posted on the website or on the advertising.
