Buyer’s Premium Parity
Under this program, auction houses benefit from a tiered commission pricing model by eliminating the additional fee typically paid by online buyers. This means that no matter what method a collector uses to bid (floor, phone, online, etc.), they pay the same buyer’s premium as any other bidder.
Compared to houses that do not offer buyer’s premium parity, auction houses that have already made the switch to parity on the Invaluable marketplace have seen:
