Six figures gives you leverage with fees. It's like real estate. Domain brokers want 15% because it not worth the low commission for sub xxx,xxx. Obviously a real estate broker that wanted 15% for selling house or land worth XXX,XXX+ would be a joke. Unfortunately there are still domain brokers and auction houses that charge high fees, but you should shop around. It's a smallish industry so there are only so many GOOD brokers that know what they're doing. It's not like a christies auction with a global reach and bigger overheads, but the GOOD domain brokers may already have their hands full.
