I'm not sure what you are referring to as a hiccup. HA has it very clearly stated on each auction page "Buyer's Premium per Lot: 22% of the successful bid (minimum $29) per lot." HA simply has a minimum amount they want to make on each lot. You don't make money by doing stuff for free. They have had this concept in their rules for as long as I can remember. I'm actually more suprised other auction houses haven't done this as well. Regardless of how big the auction house is, with every auction, buyers have the obligation to read the rules and decide it they want to participate. If a buyer doesn't read the rules, they shouldn't complain about being surprised or blame anyone but themselves.
