IIRC, which I often don't, Heritage was the first of the major sports auction houses to recently increase its BP, from 20% to 22%. I wasn't surprised that REA subsequently raised its BP, but I was quite surprised that REA raised its BP to more than Heritage's, which I think gives Heritage a bit of a competitive advantage. On the other hand, this may enable REA to give consignors of high-value items a bigger slice of the BP.
