I remember asking/commenting on this very thing when I first joined back in January of this year.
I believe it was a high end Mantle or Aaron, which was already quite high, and then I noticed what the next person had to bid!

I have purchased zero from A/H's not only because of this but also the BP. I know not all are the same, but it really made me think, being a low end collector/spender, maybe these A/H's aren't for me?
