CatI had heard this was coming. I think this is the first auction that they have attempted to charge the fee. Any of us that had bought (or perhaps simply registered) in the past, have a free pass. I somewhat recall the fee being instituted because it is their "premier auction" and thus "more special."
I wonder if you called them and had references from the other auctions houses if you could get it waived...just a thought.
