Pricing Parity
Tiered Pricing Structure Adds Margin on High Value Lots and Bidders to Our Partners
Invaluable is the only online auction marketplace that offers tiered commission pricing so our fees are lower on higher priced lots putting more money in the pockets of our auction house clients.
Invaluable requires that all auction house partners maintain buyer's premium parity across all channels (floor, phone, absentee and internet). Our analysis shows that a 1% increase in the buyer's premium across all channels more than covers this cost with the benefit of added online demand and higher total sales across all channels. Our tiered commission pricing ensures your bidders/buyers can choose their preferred bidding channel without additional fees.
Tiered commission structure based on lot value
*Please note: these are flat rates, not progressive rates;
A $7,000 lot sold online would be a 4% commission or $280,
a $21,000 lot sold online would be a 1% commission or $210.
