Looked nice to me.  Just can't afford the price plus RR Auction raised their buyers premium to 25% starting this year. No telling what the final price will be.

I think 25% is shameful.

It also comes with an LOA from Frank Caiazzo so it's rock solid authentic. Could be yours for about 8 grand after fees.

I agree, Rock Solid.  However, I would think closer to 10k with fees...but we will see...

Lovely set of The Beatles graphs! Only one of the few bands worth collecting their autographs from.

I remember in the late 80's commissions at many auction houses were 10-15% -- then they slowly began rising.  I wish there was a company for autographs where it's a flat 10% from the sellers with no commission for the buyers. Comic Connect and Comic Link do millions of dollars a year in business using that model. With eBay it's 13% when you figure in paypal fees -- but their autographs are mostly crap.

I agree.... 25% is really pushing it.  I, myself, have backed out of buying what would be a "reasonably" priced item because the 25% easily pushes it into an expensive item.  I think Bruce is right, the seller should share in that expense and not put it all on the buyer.  10 - 15% is certainly more reasonable for someone just acting as a middle man.  Granted, they have their overhead and give the item exposure, but I feel that 25% is bordering on gouging. My two cents...

The consignor pays 15% min and with rr auction depending on the deal you work out.
