A
A person with an antique to sell can entrust a certain online brokerage company to sell it online. Since the Internet company will only give the seller 75% of the antique' s fair market value regardless of what the antique sells for, a person trying to get the most money for his antique should try to sell the antique himself. The argument depends on the assumption that
A: a person selling an antique on his own can typically sell it for more than 75% of its fair market value
B: at least 25% of the buyers in the antique market prefer to shop online for antiques
C: if the brokerage company gave the seller more than 75% of the antique's fair market value, it would go out of business.
D: the cost to the person selling an antique on his own does not exceed the cost incurred by the brokerage company if it were to sell the antique
