Really are highway robbery...Remember they are charging the seller up front 30-40% and then charging you a wad on the back end to buy the crap.

Sotheby's and Christie's started this practice and then every rag tag run down auction outfit in the country got on board.

My point is...Why in the world would I pay someone to sell me something? Have they provided me with a service other than sucking up a bit of their oxygen while I am there...Not hardly..Can I buy a hot dog or some watered down chili while I am there? Sure, but look at the prices...Your basic Pluto Pup at $5.00 and a bowl of slop for the same. Then you want to charge me 18-20% as a buyer to stop by and bid.

We and others have bought full page ads in newspapers in this area protesting these "Buyers Premiums." It is starting to hurt these sc*mbags and a couple have quit charging for them. That is GREAT!!!

If you live in an area where you are getting raped let them know where it hurts. Just don't bid, don't show up. They will eventually get the message.

Just one mans opinion...
