Surely when you bid with HA or who ever that charges a BO, then you figure that into your cost before you bid and bid accordingly.
I mean, you want a poster, you are willing to pay $x, then if there is a BP, you say OK, my bid is $x minus %x so at the end of the day I pay what Im willing to..? SO I assume everyone thinks that, and end of the day, the final value pre BP is whatever the % the particular auction house charges less than the particular buyers max value for themselves. Movie posters values arent fixed like other things can be. its what your willing to spend, and if theres another who is willing to spend a similar amount.
