Heritage Auction Web Site

WAYNEASWAYNEAS Posts: 6,355 ✭✭✭✭✭

Ok I know I am old and not computer savvy.
I have tried to navigate thru Heritage's auction site to find out what the Buyer's Premium Costs are with no success.
There has to be a list showing what the ranges / costs are.
What prompted me to do this is that I was sent an email on a coin I was tracking.
The coin's current bid price was $1.00 and with BP, $30.00.
The BP use to be 19% or $19.00 for under $100.00 realized, but now seems to be 29% or $29.00 for prices realized under $100.00.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance.
Wayne

    I told you I am old how did you get to find buyer's premium?
    I was doing coins which listed at 19.00 per lot.
    How do I get to this listing?
    Thanks

    Generally auction sites have a min. BP.

    I have purchased a lot of coins from Heritage over the years and this is the first time I have encountered the $29.00 minimum BP fee.
    I was glad to get outbid at the $2.00 level. lol
    No more bids for coins under $100.00 for me.

    I am pretty sure there aren’t many if any under $100 coins on HA when the hammer finally falls!
