I haven't heard any rates lately. About 10 years ago I thought they were pretty out of hand. I had 3 friends dealing. 1 had a auction, 2 didn't. 1 guy that did, paid out $13,000 out of the sale. He put up $3000 to get them signed on. He was happy. I thought he was nuts. Pretty good pay to 5 people for about 10 hrs of work. 2 cashiers and 3 auctioneers.
