heritageauctiongalleries Has any heard of this Company?? to good tobe true
I was searching Ebay Political Autographs and found this item 4 Lines
in George Washington's Hand as President Item number: 170178164754 For a $1.00 WHAT???? no signature just he /her word that Geroge Washington wrote these lines. He/she has various presidential clipped signature going from $1.00-129.00 ranging from JQA to Franklin Pierce and Millard Fillmore, and a one from James Monroe starting from a dollar. I not a expert by any means but these type of autographs( meaning our early president signing) in this range seems to good to be true. Any thoughts??. And I'm not trying to slam this company it just seems a too good. And they charge the following fees. Minimum Value Maximum Value % Buyer's Premium The Buyer's premium is a service fee normally charged in live auctions. Winning buyers must pay an additional amount to the seller based on their bids. from US $0.00 to US $999.00 22.5% from US $1,000.00 and above 22.5% |

Nobody would put those signatures without reserve for 1.00 so that's
not even something to look at. As for the fees, that's OUTRAGEOUS On Wed, 19 Dec 2007 04:38:41 -0800 (PST), casdon wrote: I was searching Ebay Political Autographs and found this item 4 Lines in George Washington's Hand as President Item number: 170178164754 For a $1.00 WHAT???? no signature just he /her word that Geroge Washington wrote these lines.

many auction houses charge a buyer's premium with their auctions. it's
actually a common practice. it does seem silly and outrageous, but it's a reality... in fact, i think ebay is the only large auction house that DOESN'T charge a buyer's premium. m |

I put Heritage Auction as one of the top 10 auction houses in the world for
autographs. They have a major authentication process but again, none of these sites are perfect (except mine ). I've consigned to them in the past and have never seen them selling any music autographs that looked fake. For a point of information, I have not consigned to them in a couple years as a testament that I have no affiliation with them that would lead me to try to get your $ spent there. I'm just trying to help. If I had to guess, I'd say this will probably be a live auction, and all ebay bids will act as absentee bids, and therefore if you bid $1, you'll not stand a chance at any live auction. My suggestion is if you are truly interested, contact them to see if you can act as a phone bidder. That way you can participate in the live auction without placing your ceiling bid and getting shut out without having another option to bid. -- Michael Kasmar www.AutographPros.com Accredited Better Business Bureau Member Universal Autograph Collectors Club Registered Dealer #237 "Have you joined our website emailer yet?

It wasn't the buyers premium I was alluding to as outrageous, but the
sheet % they were charging.

They are quite reputable. I bid on several items, won aq couple of golden age of Hollywood sigs. As far as the low start bid and no reserve, I've done the same on eBay in the past on items that I knew would reach a price I'd be willing to accept. It wasn't autographs though, it was the 1st Star Trek Hallmark Christmas ornament. A search at the wimt showed they normally sold for 250-300, had a book value of 450, I paid $17.50+ tax for it (if memory serves) so I listed it with no minimum, no reserve. I received several inquiries as to why and posted the explanation in the auction, basicly saying I have faith in the auction system, if I'm wrong the winner gets a bargain but the item will sell at the final bid price. |

This is true, but 22.5% on the hammerfall ??? thats just flat out crazy. in fact, i think ebay is the only large auction house that DOESN'T charge a buyer's premium. m Im think ebay more than makes up on this in the plethora of charges it pushes on to the sellers |

many auction houses charge 10-20% for a buyer's premium.
ebay will probably implement this in the future to entice more stockholders. m |
