No specifics here, but I tend to charge a lower percentage commission as the price of the instrument goes up.

When some one asks me to list an instrument on an auction site for them, I charge them the fees that the auction site charges me, any credit card processing fees, money for putting the instrument in sellable condition (cleaning and repairs), money for taking and uploading pictures / typing up the auction, money for packing the thing up for shipping, and FINALLY a modest commission for selling it.


If I don't carefully keep track of all of these "costs of selling", I could simply end up "buying a job".
