There was an auction house a couple months back that originally had an insurance fee of $72 for my $5k auction win with only cards, no big frames or anything. After I called them up and told them no auction house has ever charged over $35 for invoices over $6k they backed up and were easy to deal with. If you call and talk to most auction houses they'll drop the prices, that's what seems shady to me. It's like a negotiation to how much they'll make on you. There are also a couple exceptions to the rule that only charge you what it actually costs for them to ship.
