Re: [AlpacaTalk] Marketing 101
Of course everyone's agreement can be whatever they decide upon. Out
here where I live, the standard is that the broker receives 10%
commission if the animal stays in the possession and care of the owner.
If the animal moves to the broker's farm, and then the broker feeds and
cares for the animal, the commission is then 15% to cover the broker's
additional costs and labor. Or, the owner pays agisting on their animal
and a 10% commission.
Of course the seller/owner will always have to approve any final sales
price, and then the broker receives their commission as a percentage of
the total sales price. So it's in both the owner and the broker's best
interest to get the highest possible sales price. In the
"wholesale/retail" arrangement, the owner gets nothing more then the
wholesale price, no matter what the retail price ends up being.
Your arrangement sounds like what I'm used to seeing. The buyer
approves the sale, receive full payment from buyer, they then pay the
broker their commission.
