Psssstt.. PS – if you can keep a secret, we’ve still got one of the cheapest ‘standard’ like-for-like seller commission rates in Yorkshire, just 10%+vat… I don’t think its out there yet as I hear a rumour that people are paying 15-20% or more elsewhere, plus various charges like lotting fees etc… Just thought it would be worth a reminder 😉
