What does it cost for me to hire an Auction Legacy auctioneer for my event?
- In almost all cases the cost of hiring a Legacy auctioneer more than pays for itself with dramatically increased revenue. Depending on the size and nature of your group we utilize various payment options which include:
- Buyers Premium- Most of the costs are actually paid by the buyers in a standard auction premium that is added to the final price of a lot sold.
- Flat Fee- Mostly in the case of larger charitable auctions that gross very high numbers we can work out a flat fee for auction and auctioneer services.
- Percentage of auction proceeds- You pay a pre-agreed upon percentage of the auction proceeds. This works with smaller and newer groups who aren’t sure yet what the auction will yield. This can also be utilized with a Buyers Premium so that costs are lower to the organization.
