Tom- that's a fair point but I think it boils down to how much you trust the auction house, period. If you have doubts about how an auction house conducts business, you should not bid at all. If you have faith in them, then chances are they will handle everything properly. I have to tell you that I am more concerned with how my consignor's lots do than my own. I can live with a slightly disappointing price on one of my own items; but I am ultraconcerned that my consignors are happy. If they aren't, then I'm headed for an early retirement, because they won't be back.
