Like Barry said: How will anyone REALLY KNOW whether the Auction Houses are disclosing or not?

The ONLY WAY that this could EVER be checked would be for our hobby to set up the "Police Squad" that was discussed previously...

and then getting the Auction Houses to allow the "police" to contact random consignors of ANY auction item in ANY auction to CONFIRM that it really does belong to someone other than the auctioneer.

Would I mind this as a consignor? No, not if the "Police Squad" was known and trusted in the industry.
