I do not speak for Brian, and he can do what he wants, but I do not agree with all of Frank's post.
As I read Brian's post, he was approached by people wanting to help Andrew and a very worthy cause. Brian has (and will) spend time and resources to gather lots for which he will waive the consignor fee and a portion of the buyer fee.
Now according to Frank's post he expects not only for Brian to forego the entire buyer's premium but he is also expected to pay for shipping?
I think this is a very worthy cause, and I wish the best to Andrew and his family at this difficult time. I am a big fan of Brian and view him as one of the most trustworhy people in the business. I do not doubt that an excellent job will be done to raise as much money as possible for the family.
