Frank et al
I had to let a couple of the lots go but think the two additional SBS wings and two additional knife badges went to different folks, and also the COMMANDO SBS title, Medal Ribbon etc, and Beach Partol lot - not sure if any one else got more than one lot but hoping they did and some things did stay together besides the stuff I got ... If anyone on here got anything please PM me - just so that I know where it is ... I am not an ambulance chaser, just for interest and knowing where it ended up. Regards Mike |

Okay then, I just wondered where your information actually came from, but, fourteen consecutive lots is certainly not "throughout" the catalogue, so you are merely speculating regarding commission then?

The lots came to around £18000, on 20% that’s £3600, on 15% that’s £2700 It’s not speculation it’s a fact that sellers of multiple lots of high value negotiate better rates. Wake up ! Bosleys do not have control of the market so you can go anywhere to sell your stuff, they’d be stupid not to do a deal if the seller demands Slinky Cat |

No not at all, I merely wondered where you had got that information from, I quoted the word because of what you appeared to be saying, quite frankly, that word is inappropriate in this case, fourteen consecutive lots, in a catalogue of in excess of eight hundred lots.
Regarding "Wake up" I would like to know what your evidence is, in this particular case, given the terms of business are published. Quote:

I have dealt with Bosleys in the past when I sold a large portion of my cloth collection (12 years ago) and negotiated a 3% better deal on their standard rate. Also more recently with C&T when selling medals a better rate. With C&T that was only over 20 lots but when it’s £12k worth a few % better makes a difference The wake up comment in with regards to brokering a better deal with auction houses - without us buyers and sellers - they are nothing Slinky Cat |

I only joined a few days ago, with some hesitation too
I don’t think frank has done business with auction houses as he appears to be quite naïve |

We all try to be friends on here and not seeing a face or expression can be tricky when communicating.
I assess no ones naivety. Lets get along everyone Detention after school Friday otherwise |

Actually, I have, notwithstanding, I simply wondered exactly what your evidence was in this particular case, that is all, nothing more, nothing less.

I also over use the comma, often due to pausing whilst thinking whilst researching

As mentioned, there is of course, two lots of commission of whichever percentage is shown or negotiated on each item..................from both buyer and seller.
Id est, a badge hammers at £100, commission is 20% for both parties, the greedy bastard makes £40.00 in an instant; next step, £1000, 400 quid in his sky rocket in the blink of an eye. Greedy bastard. Now, escalate that hammer price to the items subject of this thread. I reiterate, greedy bastard. And for the perceptive amongst you; no, I don't like the bloke. Over the last 2 or 3 years of his auctions I have not bid on a number of items I would have liked to have in my collections, because I refuse to give him any of my hard earned ££££££. Regards Brian |

Love him or hate him, even his published commission rates are much cheaper than many out there
I have had as much as 30% as a buyer plus a further 5% online bidding, so that’s 35% |
