@@dredlew In auctions, the buyer's premium is a charge in addition to the hammer price (i.e. the winning bid announced) of an auction item, or lot. The winning bidder is required to pay both the hammer price and the percentage of that price called for by the buyer's premium. It is charged by the auctioneer in addition to the commission which has always been charged by auction houses to sellers.[1] One hundred per cent of the "buyer's premium" is retained by the auction house and is not shared with the item's seller. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer%27s_premium

Where are you from ? I suppose you're American because I'm always baffled how Americans are impressed by the age of anything that's a hundred years old... I went to a museum (an old plantation that was open to visit) in the US where they were exposing a pair of shoes that was maybe 100 years old. As a European, in my family we would not pay attention to such a thing and call it junk because our attics are full of such old things. Indeed the building I grew up in is 100 years old and it's not considered very old... And my mother grew up in a 500 years old building with a few trees over 200 years old in the garden (and my grandfather owns an~1200 years old farm, which to be fair is one of the oldest buildings in the area). This is not to brag but it's interesting how people in the US have a warped vision of what an "antique" is... Or maybe we have...
