A buyer's premium has been around for a long time. Until a couple years ago it seems as if the premium was hardly ever above 10%. Now it varies between 10% and 20% with 18% as the most prevalent. Lately, they have been adding a hammer premium that seems to grow and grow and grow. Never miss a chance to increase revenue.
