2. Sell-It-Cheap salesrooms organize general and specialist sales where items are sold to the highest bidder. There is a sliding scale of commission charges, based on the price of items sold, with lower-priced items attracting a higher percentage. All items sold have a price in multiples of £1.

New commission bandings after customer feedback:

- Items sold for£150 or less attract a flat-rate fee of£7.00

- Items otherwise sold for less than £500have a fee of6%

- Items otherwise sold for less than £1000have a4.5%fee
