I assume that Mike meant that Ambrose Bauer would take 10-15% commission on gross sales minus the expenses of picking up and inventorying the collection, but have no personal experience. Another poster thought that meant one would realize 10-15% of gross sales, which seems almost certainly wrong and too low, but I don't know for sure.
Example: If you purchased a very nice steam engine for $1,000. Auction price $150.
