the premiums are crazy. people will keep bidding as long as there are good consignments. the big auction houses spend a ton, thats why they charge a ton. will they shut down? no. will people stop buying/consigning? no.

the answer will eventually be competition. The hobby is in dire need of a honest, trustworthy, dedicated, and fair auction company. I believe this will eventually come to fruition. The key will be having contacts within the high-end collector world... so that the consignments come in. If someone does take on this huge commitment, I think that will be the only answer in battling the current premiums.
