Added Buyer's Premium is NOT Market Value

[MikawlBBC]

What card are you trying to get a discount on? Sorry, but BP needs to be factored in.

And in some cases, seller's do get a portion of the BP.

an example of one of those instances where you just have to take a moment ...... and look around the crowd in the room ..... and finally realize ..... it's just you.

OP, it's okay to be wrong. Just take the L and come back stronger. You are among friends here.

The seller doesn't get to keep the buyer's premium. And it's obvious that ebay vs auction house websites are different when it comes to final market value and final bid.

That is the actual price with the Buyers Premium.

The card was not sold for $1.1 million for example it sold for $1.5 million as that is what was paid prior to taxes or shipping and frequently there are no taxes or shipping on expensive items as they are picked up by the individual or agent.
