I have not thought about this before, but as a buyer I do have a perception of the auction LOA's themselves. To me personally, they're not worth the paper they are printed on, because now that it is printed on I can't use it.
I would be interested to learn to learn for certain that anyone from the TPA actually looks at a lot of the items for which these auction LOA's are printed.
Having said that, I guess I would be miffed if I was a consignor and an auction house wanted to charge me for that service.
