Wow, that really changes things. Now the seller only has to pay the taxes. I sure wish it was me. :(

Dylan's Strat is a world record for an auctioned guitar. Beat out any of Clapton's guitars. A fool and their money are soon parted.

A good read:

http://www.nepr.net/blog/dylans-guitar- ... 8.facebook

"As you’ve probably heard, the Fender Stratocaster that Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival on Sunday, July 25, 1965, sold at Christie’s on December 6 for $965,000. All Things Considered gave the story prominent coverage that night; PBS’s History Detectives “authenticated” the ax as the real thing last year. But both these reports, and virtually everything else written in the lead-up to the auction, omitted one significant detail. It's Mike Bloomfield, not Bob Dylan, who played those slashing, staccato licks that raised such a clatter at Newport."

Aren't auction fees added to the closing cost which the buyer pays?

Most auctions I go to you pay the bid amount plus a stated percentage added when payment is made, but there are commission auction sales were the seller pays a commission on the sale price and you the buyer pay the bid amount only.

It depends on the country you live in. Where there's stronger consumer protection than here in the US (it doesn't take much), you generally cannot add costs to an agreed on or advertised price. So the bid would generally be with all charges, and the auction house would take their cut out of that.

Here you have to register to get number and you are agreeing to pay auction premium on your bid if seller commission auction the seller agrees to pay from the sale price. In the UK the Wife and I made bids that would have auction house set admin fee. % on bid also. Only two countries I have been to auctions in though.

Go to auctions several times a year.
