They are raising the BP to better secure consignments. If it makes a few extra bucks because people aren't smart enough to incorporate the information into their bids, that's a only a side bonus.

Definitely true.

Another piece that I find interesting is the behind the scenes negation between the seller and AH about getting a piece of that BP. For example, if you were getting 50 percent of the 20 percent before, do you now ask for 50 percent of the 23 percent?
