Is anybody familiar with
ebay seller early_american_auctions otherwise known as Early American History Auctions (EAHA)? It purports to be an auction house, sells its items as if it were a floor auction with additional online bids accepted via
ebay (Live Auction) in the same manner as Heritage and Superior, but I haven't run across it before. It seems to be primarily a mail-bid operation. Some offerings:

The auction which caught my eye and introduced me to EAHA:

EAHA's buyer's premium at 22.5% is also more outrageous than other auction houses.
Is EAHA a legitimate auction house, just a wannabe, or (at the other end of the spectrum) another fraud scheme?
