In the below message I sent to MoPo a while ago I referenced "*AN OUTRAGEOUS $9 MINIMUM BUYERS PREMIUM*".
I have been informed from several trustworthy sources that this was a major error, and that there are no auctions currently running with $9 minimum buyers premiums. I should have referred to "*AN OUTRAGEOUS $14 MINIMUM BUYERS PREMIUM*". I apologize to anyone inconvenied by this error on my part.
