ChrisHey Andy,
I don't disagree with your reasoning, I'm just saying I don't have a problem with it. It's not that out of line with other like businesses. And sure you and I think that $75 is more easily absorbed by the corporation, but I bet if you asked Doug he'd disagree...
Might they lose out on potential bidders by charging a fee? I'd say it's more than likely. But they've made a business decision that it is smarter for them to go about it this way. Along your lines - it would be awful if Exxon/Mobil charged a toll at all service stations. But would that stop us from buying gas? Like you said, they're doing it because they can. This is just one more situation where we have to pay for our little obsession.
