Excellent point. And if this were apples-to-apples it would apply here. However, the person buying a dead-centered psa 7 in a new holder isn't necessarily interested in a nice 6 in an old holder. Perhaps this is more of a grade-worship issue than a pwcc-gets-more issue. A jump from 6 to 7 is huge. There is also a lower population of 7s than 6s. And guys love that new holder: it shows it is properly graded according to PSAs current standards.
I think the better question here is "why would you auction the card off yourself anyway?" Between eBay and PayPal fees you end up paying almost as much as PWCC's cut on a card in this price range. They list it, ship it, and advertise. It's worth the extra few bucks just to not have to do the work. Not to mention the fact that you may get more for the card than if you sold on your own (usually).
