And for the record, if you bid on an auction and don’t read the rules to know you are paying a buyers premium, then F-you, you are an idiot and you deserve whatever unhappiness your stupidity or irresponsibility got you.

LOL I was just reading that the buyer's premium dates back to ancient Rome. Maybe Rob had an ancestor who bitched about it back then.
