Do they have a better platform than others? Thanks for any input.

I think Gary nailed it: they are trying to force people into their vault/consignment network by offering a discount if you deliver your stuff into their clutches directly. If you sell immediately, great. If you store it there, the fees will be coming, so also great.
Their platform is...quirky.
