I don't understand why so many auction houses utilize this. All the money they have thrown away when the cost of creating something similar is ridiculously less over time. A percentage of sales in exchange for the software. Ludicrous.

There's still a cost to maintain/upgrade the software even if it's in house along with making sure servers are secure and can handle the load during high usage times, etc. It's not surprising that auction houses would rather pay someone to do all that for them instead of bringing it all in house.
