What auction house would you use?

Lets say you wanted to sell a couple of higher value cards. What auction house would you use, and do some auction houses have a 0% seller's premium on certain cards? By "higher dollar value", im talking about $2300 on one card, and $800 on the other, nothing really high value.

Your best bet would be the Net 54 BST board. An auction house would take a long time to get you money, may not market the cards to your approval, and they could well get lost amongst other items. Additionally, even if you get 0% commission on your end it has to be made up on the other, and you're talking about 17.5-19% that the buyer will figure into the bid.
All auction houses have a certain % of bidders that won't deal with them at this point, and without an underbidder the low opening bids could well hold up. By listing at a fixed price on Net 54 you'll realize 100% of the sale price you set, or putting them on ebay at fixed price you'll get 90%. Still ahead of an auction house, and months sooner.

If I would use an auction house, I think I would use REA. The fees are fairly high, but the quality of material, the 800 page full color phone book. The thoughtfully written up descriptions.....it is by far the one auction I look forward to seeing every year, even if I don't usually buy anything. But they seem to realize very strong prices

The downside of REA is that they only have one auction a year and their latest one ended over the weekend.
