Their buyer fees are ridiculously high. The BIGGEST joke is their 6% fee if one buys through the Saleroom.com!
They say that their costs are high, but they have no real justification for a total BC of OVER 34%, plus, do not forget, they charge equally aggressive fees to the vendor of a lot.
In reality, for each item sold at a Tooveys Auction there is a clear 'take' per lot of almost 50% PER LOT!
Having seen some lots sell for £100k PLUS well they are doing very well for overly high fees income.
ZERO JUSTIFICATION FOR SUCH HIGH BUYERS COMMISSION LET ALONE VENDOR COMMISSION! JUST PURE GREED, OH, AND ONE OF THE TOOVEYS IS A VICAR!! ABOUT TIME THE GOVERNMENT STEPPED IN TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ABSURD FEES CHARGED BY MOST SALEROOMS...
