And the bidding is still open.

Will that be check or cash?

Do they come in size 12?

Men’s or women’s?

 

 

NO.

I was stunned.

 

Current bid is $800,000. "With buyer's premium, that is $1 million dollars."

 

I realize I am not the most mathematically inclined person in the world, but that seems like a 25% buyer's premium.

 

Is that normal?

I don’t know what is normal. Sotheby’s recently lowered their premiums. For your convenience, and further confusion, I copied their rate structure.

IF IT sells for a bid of $800,000, is the story that it went for 800k or that it went for a million?

 

 

foot note. The first LA property to sell for over a million was the Playboy Mansion way back when Hef bought it.

"Buyer's Premium per Lot:

25% on the first $1,000,000 (minimum $49), plus 20% of any amount between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, plus 15% of any amount over $5,000,000 per lot".

 

25% is within common range of 14-27% BP that I commonly see for estate sales.  Sometimes that includes tax and credit card fee, other times you add 2-5% CC fee and sales tax.

They'd go with his glasses.
