I have a question guys, what is the going rate for the buyer and sellers commission for Barrett Jackson. They are making a killing. My father in law just told me he heard it was going to go up next year to 10% both ways. That is ludicrous to me.

I am sure they were hoping for more anyway. The guy in the Tennessee hat I think owns a bunch of those Check Into Cash things, not too far from where I live.

At this point it is:

8% for seller

10% for buyer (add 2 % for phone and internet bidders)

I was asking myself the same question...he had already spent big money on a couple of cars and I was waiting to see if he'd take a shot at the Supersnake. I think he bought the Grumpy Jenkins Vega and 1,000 HP custom 'Cuda.
