Probably because they didn't realize the full value of the thing, and because the woman assured them it was junk and she wanted to be rid of it. Probably only after bids at auction rose over the $20 mark did they realize they had a policy to adhere to, and by then it was too late.
I saw the owner on the news today. They sell things before they can tell the customer the value of an item. It's all on consignment. The policy is they keep 50% and customer keeps 50% after the item is sold.
