If it was a car I really wanted, that would not deter me for even a second. Actually, maybe 10 seconds it would take to figure my final cost when bidding. I would just lower my bid accordingly. What difference does it make if I pay $25k for the car WITH the surcharge or pay $25k for the car without? My wallet isn't affected.
I just bought some things on the Gov. Surplus site. Some of the schools or municipalities have a surcharge built in; some don't. This one did, but I adjusted my bid accordingly and still won. It is only a factor if you don't read the fine print.
