According to the B-J website, sellers must also pay an entry fee for each vehicle offered which varies based on the day and time slot it gets. Entry fees used to range from $600 to $1,500 (circa 2009), but may have increased since then.
For starters:

Listing fee (varies based on time slot, usually $1,000-$2,500)
Selling Fee (usually 10% based on the actual bid price at time of sale)
Buyers Fee-10% added on to actual bid price (IE: Bid 50K, final cost 55K)
There are also fees for detailing the car (unless you want to do it)

Add on shipping the car down to the auction, hotel, gas, tolls, parking, food, etc (if you plan to be there).

Also keep in mind that first your car must be approved by the "auction board" at BJ to see whether it qualifies for their allotted slots. (have not heard of a car being turned down yet).
