Worth knowing before you go

Consignment is a published, fee-based service. Commission runs from 15 to 20% on cars up to $50,000, then 10% between $50,000 and $150,000, 8% to $250,000, 7% to $1,000,000 and 5% above that, with replicas at 10%. On top of that there is $1,000 payable on the car's arrival covering detailing, photography, advertising copy and the first 3 months of storage and advertising, then $250 per month after that. The business no longer runs its own workshop and refers servicing to a separate operator, and its retail stock is small and viewed by appointment, so call ahead before visiting.
