Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

The sellers fee is normally on a sliding scale determined by the hammer price. The more an item sells for the lower the sellers fee percentage, which I understand. It takes almost as much effort and resources to catalog a $2k item versus a $20k item.
Maybe the reason the buyers fee is creeping up is the average lot price is declining and the auction still needs to cover fixed expenses???

Auction houses are like stock brokers, you pay at both ends and your broker for doing it.
