Seems to me that some auction folks are focused on putting together big lots, rather than single items and small lots, so as to save them labor and effort; they get a listing together and then they're done with it, not responding to inquiries; and they suffer through deep pocketed bidders winning several lots then being slow to pay, because they're unwilling to upset those with deep pockets lest they renege on all of their bids, resulting in the consignors having to wait unduly long to get paid. And the auction folks that do that crap do it because they're doing what's best for themselves, not the consignors.
I empathize with your frustration, Shoeless Moe.
