God knows I’m NOT on the side of the auctioneers . BUT from the quality of the catalog you guys are saying that’s not inexpensive in today’s market . Printing costs can be lessened by quantity , but I would assume they print no more then possibly two or three thousand which in any printing circles I was ever apart of would be considered small and not generally worthy of any discounts . Also it seems they advertise a more then fair amount . To say nothing of paying a semi competent person to take somewhat decent photographs for the net/catalog/advertising. Again I by no means am on the side of the auctioneers but I can see why they charge what they charge and again I don’t like paying 15-30% either .
