I would hope so, I mean maybe as a consignor you're not giving up the full 20 percent to the house because you made a deal but you're sure giving up something that you would keep in a private deal. I can still see it on truly elite cards, but on cards that are essentially commodities, not sure it's the most profitable outcome most of the time for a seller. It just seems to be reflexive for a lot of guys.
