I don't care what anyone says about Facebook groups. . . . there are a lot of scumbag losers on Facebook and a lot of "older" people [like me] who want no part of it and never did. Even more importantly, I would imagine that the average person getting a box of beautiful catalogs from Heritage or Mile High has economic assets far surpassing the typical Facebook goober. Of course there are exceptions, but when you buy with an AH you are not relying on the integrity of some random person.
Why do you go to a good auction house? To get your stuff in front of rich people who can spend big money. And you are relying on the skills of someone to market it in an attractive way to those folks. Period.
Same reason people list their real estate now with Sotherby's and happily pay their commission.
