A discount to pay your item using crypto??

Goldin announced their Tom Brady card was paid by crypto yesterday but I also realized the final price got adjusted. The hammered price was $1.72M before but now it is only $1.68M. It is only $40k diff, no big deal but I wonder why

no discount for crypto, they offer 3% discount for paying via wire, check, cash, money order, etc and not using a credit card or if paying after ten days. As do a few other AH's

No discount. Ended for $1.4 + 20% BP for $1.68

Goldin love to add the extra 3% in to final prices (23% TOTAL) when giving the total price sold. Looks like there is a .5% fee because of course.
