Where I have sold my guns on consignment, the dealer doesn't add on to the price I am asking, to get his "fee". He takes (such as) 10% of the price I am asking, after I sell the gun. So, if I say I want $700.00 for a gun, after it is sold, he gets $70.00. And I get $630.00 back. We usually agree on what I ask for the gun to begin with, but he gets his 10% after the gun is sold. I may have to decide on whether I should lower the price when the gun sits and doesn't sell, or take it back home. But my dealer gets his money out of the final sale. He doesn't add his fee onto the asking price at the beginning. What I understand that you are saying is that if you want $2000.00 for a gun, and he gets 10% and he adds his 10% onto the price, then the gun will be for sale for $2200.00. He shouldn't do that. He should get his 10% (or whatever his fee is) AFTER the gun sells at the asking price. He should get $200.00 and you should get $1800.00.
