Again, I remain puzzled by any grousing over the BP as being deceptive. It's there in the rules for all to see, and if you get fooled once, don't go back. In fact, since so many here are intent on calling out what they see as shady or deceptive practices and avow they will not participate with such sellers, do so now. I would love nothing more than to see dozens or more competitors drop off the bidding list in nearly all major and minor auctions in solidarity against these "scammers".

For some reason this conversation always goes down an unintended rabbit hole. The OP never mentioned it being deceptive.
I'd love to see the conversation stay on point for once and explain why Hunt can survive on 17.5,% while Heritage needs 20% (I guess they haven't figured out how to capitalize on economies of scale?) and Huggins 23%? Maybe if it didn't feel so arbitrary, people wouldn't bring this up so much.
