Slater's Auction

I haven't seem this posted about yet but I might have missed it.
What's up with the latest Slater's catalog? Almost every lot mentions "due to the size and weight of this lot, shipping may be extra". Now I'm use to that. But it happens on very small lots including the set of 63 peel off BB stickers from topps. Now my memory was that 48 stickers weren't all that big or heavy. Does this bother anyone else.
Also several display boxes are in the auction sometimes accompanied by wrappers. The hype pretty hard from there "display box expert", who hasn't seen very much from what I gather (my guess would be Mike Mallon of Chicago but he should be more advanced than the "expert" seems to be). But the surprising thing on many were the minimums. Now I know that I have been out of touch on that stuff for a bit, but some of their min's look more than what I thought they would go for at the end of the auction. Are prices really up like this?

I usually like their auction catalogues but I found very little that I will be bidding on in this auction. I have not experienced the problems others have with shipping, descriptions, delays etc. when winning lots but it is certainly something I am concerned about.
you can buy them for half that on ebay and in nicer shape
all the auction houses are becoming pigs on postage and buiyers premium
same old story..if you can take in 10 million why not take in 11
