kinda on the fence about this one actually...
it is allowable by law, but i wont bid on any of their auctions now knowing i'm at a 20%, sorry 19.5%, disadvantage right outta the gate.
i don't necessarily think bad of them because they are acting in accordance w/ state and local law even though it was "fine print" and probably the sole reason they are headquarted in tx. similar to golf and using the rules to your advantage. are you really gonna hit the ball off the actual cart path?
would, however, like to know who receives the actual 20% buyers premium...that's a very crucial and key component to the argument on this one.
firmly believe if heritage ends up winning it themselves, then it should have to be paid and it should go to the consigner.
wishful thinking, i know.
