You are not going to sell a 5K art object/antique on CL or FBMKTPL...you can on Ebay because it has exposure...more than 5K you go to a specialty auction house and consign...and then you have to pick an auction house where your item sells well. If it is expensive enough you negotiate Sellers premium. On some things I have gotten 1% Seller premium..because the auctioneer is making 15% to 20% on the Buyers Premium. Imagine a hammer price of 1M..thats 150K to 200K to the auctioneer for a few minutes on the block..and that kind of item DRAWS lots of potential Buyers to peruse your catalog of items.
Autos are bigger ticket and diff.
Auction buying and selling is a whole diff animal...
