When you consign something 'raw' to an AH, my thinking is that if they think slabbing or getting an LOA will increase the return, then they should eat that cost.
In any case, it's only ethical for them to let the consignor know in advance what they plan to do, and whether or not there will be an extra cost for the consignor. Slabbing (or incurring a TPA cost) should never have 'surprise' fees for the consignor.
