How to get ripped off by SCP Auctions & Sotheby's

Posted By: Corey R. Shanus

My take is Sotheby's very well may not care, but SCP will. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Moral of the story though (and in saying this I share the disgust of the Board over what has transpired), NEVER bid on a photographic item based soley on a catalogue depiction/description. Too often they omit/misrepresent material details (often innocently, though sometimes not). If on-site inspection is not possible, then call someone at the auction house, ask them to take the item in hand, and then ask your questions.

EDITED for spelling (thanks Barry)
