Consigning Firearms at Auction

What is a reasonable percentage I should expect when consigning firearms at auction.
I'm thinking 20% for $3,500 or under
15% for 3501 to $7,000.
10% over $7,001
any advise ?

Are you asking as what you should expect to pay to sell a firearm, or receive from the sale of selling someone else's firearm?

Anything besides guns and coins the sellers were charged 10% and the buyers extra charge was still 18%.
Your contract with the sellers would make it easier if you just set a standard rate and not a sliding scale....it would make things easier all around.
just my .02 cents
Or me.
Where are you? Locust Fork is in Alabama, and I am in Texas.
You can surely find a seller who will do better than your median figure of 15%.
If a guy had a bunch of guns or some real high dollar guns, I'd bet he'd work with the premium...........
If you set a reserve and the gun doesn't sell, he charges a fee.
He has Insurance, rental of a hall, and employees.
