$10=40 close to 100,000 x I like that math
i figured with that many zeros, it'd be obvious i was exaggerating. has anyone here ever bought one of MCS's consignment items? i assume they sell some, but i can't understand how.
Doesnt the owner set the price they want to sell at, not MCS, when consigning?
Correct.
I have purchased a consignment book from MCS before. Saw it on eBay - at a decent price - then went to their website and bought it 10% cheaper. However, there is still a 3% "buyer's premium" on top of that.
That part I don't understand, though I don't run an auction house. So I am being charged 3% to buy an item from MCS who in turn charges the seller for selling an item through them? Double-dipping?
It is cheaper than other auction sites and they don't charge Sale Tax. 13% added to the total is for the storage fee (as long as you want). Other auction sites make you wait longer to receive books since they are not in possession of the books. MCS shipping is relatively cheap for raw or slabs if you buy an inexpensive book.
