When I choose to bid on a card, pennant, whatever that any given auction house has up for bids, I make the choice to bid. It is up to me to read the rules---including what fees I may or may not have to pay if I win. If I object to a buyer's premium, I don't place any bids. If I choose to participate, I have a certain amount I am willing to spend. I don't care what percentage is going to a consignor, the auction house, or whomever...I am hoping that my amount is enough to win the card, pennant, or whatever.
