That would indicate they are aggressively targeting the investment market. I don't really follow investments so I don't know if RIAC is an upstart in the auction market, but they do seem to be getting more and more business (bigger catalogs).

The RIAC auctions I have put bids in on charged 17% 'surcharge' on the winning bid. Plus shipping & handling.

I still prefer Gunbroker, but RIAC does offer inspection prior to auction. I dislike RIAC's bundling of items.
