Don't blame the auction house for this. We have the right to complain about fraud, not the fact that the AH wants to make more money for its consignors.
PS I was up half the night bidding on one card; had I known the auction would run until 6:45 I would have set my alarm for 6:43; however, that's the chance you have to take if you want the card bad enough. I got the card.
