Fees upto 34%
WOW  |

35.94% buyers fees are a disgrace and VAT will be added to price+fees. I expect there will have been seller fees as well. Thankfully nothing looks in the slightest bit interesting to encourage me to bid. The RP signed print I have on the wall is much better, although not impressed Ruby Walsh seems to have signed it with disappearing ink!

Listing fee, catalogue fee, sellers fee, buyers fee and a 3% extra online fee, all plus vat.
You might need to pay to register before you can bid. Easy to give it a miss, have many happy memories of the great horse, although it all ended a bit messy with owner and trainer and horses sad demise. 2 Tingle Creeks, 4 betfair chases, 5 King George's, 2 gold cups. Not a bad haul. Most versatile top class horse I have seen, any ground any trip. |

Anyone remember that Poem/Song that was read at Cheltenham about Kauto Star, it was really good?

Is this the one you're referring to stewarts? If so, there's an audio link underneath the lyrics.
I've heard the legends from days gone by When people speak of them you see a sparkle in their eye But in the times that we live in people come from near and far To see one of the greatests his name is Kauto Star The best chaser in the world As he jumps and as he stays Dominating all divisions and all others at the grade And on those golden days in March he came storming up the hill Winning two Gold Cups impressively, giving racing such a thrill And they're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star Last years racing season was not to be his time Third at Kempton and Cheltenham and pulled up in the emerald isle Some said after that year it was time to then retire But Ruby, Paul and Clive knew that to run was his desire So on clear November Saturday on the turf at Haydock Park Thousands they gathered with their hats, badges and scarves Kauto versus Long Run a close match up to be But it was Ruby who came out on top and went down in history And they're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star Christmas time at Kempton was the next chapter to be The drive for five King Georges and a place in history And as Kauto led them round the bend the festive crowd did roar Long Run came and joined him but the old boy, he found more And they're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star Kauto, Kauto Star Oh yeah Kauto, Kauto Star When that day comes when it's over We'll only then realise How privileged we have been to have the star shine in our eyes So cheer him home all the way up the hill so straight and long And we'll raise a glass to Kauto and together we'll sing along They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FUFd5_parHQ |

Auction fees are bad enough but some misunderstandings here.......
Breadnbutter - Re your post - There is no listing fee and no catalogue fee!!. There is no need to pay to register to bid. The other fees are shown below Storm Alert - 35.94% buyers fees are a disgrace - VAT will be added to price+fees. - The 30% Buyers fee includes vat. If you bid on line this will add another £4.80 including vat max, depending on your chosen platform. Buyers fees are defo extortionate BUT it is actually not as bad as it seems for the buyer; Because everybody has to pay it, the price you pay will be depressed because of this; It simply, and pretty obviously, drives down the price buyers will pay. The seller fees are 20% including vat - This is pretty much irrelevant to the buyer. It does of course mean that selling at auction these days means that the value of the sale of an auction item is split between the seller and the auction house with the latter taking the majority. |
