I don't know 'em - but there's some interesting stuff in there.

I guess this is typical at auction houses as there was a huge surcharge on the recent Billy the Kid photo auction.  Seems over the top to me as they charge the seller a percentage as well?

Car auctions like Mecum also do this - it's not unusual, especially on big ticket luxury items.
