Yeap, I can't see my computer screen. Now quit getting all literal. (says Emily Litella, Gilda Radner)

When I place a bid with Heritage it shows my bid plus it shows the cost with BP. So I guess I’m lost on how someone can be confused on the what the total will end up. I’m pretty sure I don’t have a magic computer and it’s the same for everyone.

You got 0 sales tax and free shipping? Where do you live?

No sales tax is what it is. But just add a rough 10% puts you in the ballpark. I’m talking Heritage shows you what your bid is and what the cost is with BP before you even confirm the bid.

So that BP number can be off by as much as 10% and you are lost on how someone could be confused when they see that difference on their invoice?

I guess your right if you know nothing about simple math then yes I can see where you would be confused.

He lives in the bizarro anti-geico land of misfits who get off on paying more.

Misfit #1: Did you pay more?

Misfit #2: Yeah Broheim, I paid more.

Misfit #1: 20% more Brofessor?

Misfit #2: Yeah...and that's not all Brotato chip. I paid ridiculous shipping.

Misfit #1: Wow...Thats a lot more Brotein shake.

Misfit #2: Oh yeah....I'm all about more Teddy Brosevelt.

So you can define "literal" with the help of an internet dictionary, but you can't seem to see the difference between informed consent (the practice of the auction house) and the analogy used in the title. And for your error or inability, everyone who disagrees with you gets the pleasure of being accused of being either old, sensitive, or "literal." (None of those things are de facto bad, by the way.) When in fact it is your mistake all along.

As someone who counsels assault survivors, the analogy is gross. But even if you think it isn't, it is just the wrong analogy. Your choice on which one you want to defend. Now, back to complaining about terms clearly noted by auction houses...
