They arranged shipping, insurance, covered all costs, and I negotiated a no seller's fee on hammer so yes I'm bloody singing their praises because they deserve it.. Thankyou and best wishes..

Did you sent the Coa with the art work when courier picked up, or you sent later.
Also if sent later was this after the sale or before?
One last question, I live in the EU so will I have to pay any UK tax on the sale and is 5%sellers fee a lot?
Many thanks

One last question, I live in the EU so will I have to pay any UK tax on the sale and is 5%sellers fee a lot? Many thanks I would always advise sending the art and the COA in different packages. Most auction houses would want it prior to sale. In this market I would not expect anyone to have to pay sellers fees....the buyers premiums are high enough. Theoretically you would pay VAT on sellers commission - but then again I dont think you should pay any!

If you are selling a 200K item, I'm sure they'll be happy with a 10% cut.

They kindly said they'd reduce their normal price of 20% down to 15%. Needless to say I decided against consigning with them!

Forum are very good indeed, a class act, helpful efficient and make it easy.
Phillips and Sothebys are likewise but will they and charge you for it if you don't know better. Push hard there is serious competition out there for Banksy works and they will all go to 0%. The big houses may try charge marketing at the big houses, resist is my advice.
The online auctions at the big 3 seem to be the best performers. Bonhams has always been slightly behind for the seller but great to buy from!
100% avoid Tate Ward Online though (enough has been said about the House itself so see the other threads) as that is the worst route to sale.
