Well said Gilbert. And for the record, Jim L., while you were patting yourself on the back for your excellence in civil discourse (is accusing Gil of having a problem with reading comprehension civil discourse, by the way?), you appear to have missed my reasoning, which I will point out again politely: to wit, in my opinion the identity of the seller is irrelevant because there is just as much incentive to run up an auction for a consignor as there is for oneself. I understand you may feel otherwise, and it is a good question to discuss, but in my view it would have been more "civil" to have discussed it in the abstract than to infer Barry Sloate was acting unethically.
