Scans can be tweaked, the scanner glass not cleaned and leave a spot, or other games can be played with the item
No "purple sticker" (or type of equivalent) would be given to an item that may deserve one
Once the AH owns the item, improved descriptions can be written, or the item can be saved for, say, a "Platinum" type of auction.

This is why we don't allow employee bids. (Or "Auction house" bids)
