Buyer's Premium: Bidders will be charged a 27% buyer's premium on the hammer price of each lot purchased up to and including $75,000 and a 25% buyer's premium for any lot exceeding $75,000. The Total Sales Price of an item will be calculated as follows: the hammer price of the item, plus the buyer's premium, plus 7% Palm Beach County sales tax, unless exempt (see 'Sales Tax' below). Bidders paying by credit card or paypal will be charged an additional 2.5% credit card fee on the Total Sales Price.

Sales Tax: Sales tax will be added to all purchases at the rate of 7% (Palm Beach County sales tax rate) of the hammer price plus the buyer's premium. No sales tax will be charged if the successful bidder provides PBMA with a copy of a valid 'Resale Form' or 'Tax Exempt Certificate.' Items shipped out of state are not subject to sales tax as long as the successful bidder furnishes PBMA with a copy of a shipping document from a shipper showing that the lots are being shipped out of state.
