RIA this weekend

1 - Well, the buyer's premium is 15%.

2 - Then if you use a credit card to pay, there is a 2-1/2% surcharge. (That amount used to be correct unless they have changed it in the last year or so.)

3 - Then if you use a proxy site bidding service, there is a 2-1/2% surcharge. (That amount used to be correct unless they have changed it in the last year or so.)

4 - Then there is shipping and handling.

In essence, all charges incurred are passed thru to the buyer.

The above is one of the reasons I decided not to bid. I just couldn't bring myself to pay out the extra fees, call me a pessimist, just can't do it.

Well, if it is something I "really" want bad, then I will do it.

But with my past experiences with them, I then have Kroh do the bidding for me and pay him a fee. The fee is well worth it, considering how I was stuck by RIA a couple of times in the past.
