It's pretty routine for houses to allow the buyer to pay for a full LOA rather than a pre-cert or an auction house LOA. That's totally fine with me. I do it when I buy from RR.
But I would be pretty annoyed if they asked me as a consignor to pay for the cert prior to auction. I still feel like if they have doubts they should not accept my item. And the same goes for having doubts about an item with a cert.
