This might not be a smart or relevant question but since Mastro employees can bid in the auctions, if they win, do they have to pay FULL Buyer's Commissions or do they get a break?? This matters because if they don't pay full commissions, then they can place a higher bid but still pay the same amount as someone who doesn't work for Mastro.

An example.

Since I don't work for Mastro, if I won a $2,000 dollar card or item in the auction, I would have to pay 20% commission, or an extra $400 dollars. My total with commish would be $2,400 dollars. Now if a Mastro employee can bid on and win the same item but only pay a 10% commish then they can bid
a little over $2,180 and still owe only the $2,400 total.

Just a question and no big deal to me (at least right now) because I don't have the money to bid in Mastro Auctions. But to others who DO have the money this might make a difference.
