Hi George,
I have been watching/reading the discussion forum entries for the December 8, Lady’s & Gent’s auction, and I thought I would email some information that will help clear up some confusion and concerns that your group may have.
First I would like to thank you for your help in trying to resolve these issues, as well and your help in general with the sale.
1) Buyer’s Premium: Our in-house premium is 15%, meaning if you by from us via, absentee, phone or attend the sale in person. I think that the confusion with the bidder’s viewing Live Auctioneers website. They are a go between company for Real-World auction firms and eBay, so that we may offer live webcasting of our sales. Most bidders find this a very interest alternative to conventional bidding. However, eBay charges a 7% commission for this service and that is added on to our standard 15% making it premium 22% for those who chose to bid via this platform. ALL of our sales are webcast, as this one will be, minus the firearms. Since the Virginia-Tech shooting, eBay no longer offered these types lot articles. The online catalogue link is
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/144132) Sales Tax: South Carolina State law states that all sales are taxable, unless otherwise except. Exceptions would be completing a SC State Tax Exception form (or) have your purchases shipped out of state via ICC shipper, such as UPS, FedEx, and US Postal Service.
3) Shipping: All pre-1898 firearms with be shipped via UPS Store. Post-1899 firearms will be shipping by Charlton Hall to a licensed firearms dealer. You can contact us for shipping charges.
Once again we are please to provide detailed condition reports, additional images and any other information which is requested, all you need to do ask.
Best Regards,
