It would seem to incentivize NOT bringing the collection to auction in a timely fashion, especially if a time frame isn't outlined in the contract.

I thought the same thing about possibly slowing down the items being auctioned if there's interest being charged. Also, there's nothing in the contract that was posted to indicate interest on the advance. In fact, it says no additional fees so interest really doesn't make sense.
