I wonder how it would work out if the BP was split down the middle between the consignor and the buyer.....say if it were 15%, consignor 7.5% and buyer 7.5%..........maybe the buyer would bid higher, and overall the seller may make more?
I know at first this could possibly steer a consignor the other direction, but the buyer's would love such a low BP, more money to spend
-thus, consignor may make more $$ in the end.
