Spacecoast, Proxibid adds 3% to your winning bids if you bid thru them so I avoid them whenever possible.
Yes, I understand, but Proxibid also adds a pretty high level of convenience and coverage of many auctions, both before and during, in exchange for that 3%.

I received a reply to my email to CWO Auctions today -

From: Rich B
Subject: Auctions
To: info@cwocauctions.com

Hello!

I would like to know if I can bid on items in Carol Watson auctions without having to sign up with iCollector/ProxiBid/AuctionZip/Invaluable?

Rich,

You can view the auction on Proxibid but you do not have to bid thru them. You can place a bid directly with us.
You can call me at 949-752-8284 if you want to place a bid.
Thank you,

Carol Watson,
Orange Coast Auctions

Thanks Rich, just what I wanted to hear. When I emailed them a few weeks I got a different answer.

If I view the auction on Proxibid, but place a bid through you at 949-752-8284 do I still have to pay the 18,5% buyers premium?

Thank you, Hugh G.......

No, our in-house buyer's premium is 12% for cash or check, or 15% for credit card.

Thanks Hugh, I was concerned that if I logged on through a third party web site any bids that I might possibly win would be charged the extra fee. Thanks for your help.
