I appreciate the responses. First off, while I understand why a listing could be inaccurate in this situation and because of time constraints, an auction house isn't able to open a framed piece to check for damage, that really isn't the issue. I contacted the house immediately upon receipt of the item. I am sure they had not issued payment to the consignor yet. Why am I stuck with the issue and not the person who consigned it? Why couldn't the sale be cancelled? The house still had the money. This isn't only short-sighted, but it oozes of dishonesty to push the problem onto the buyer instead of the person who consigned the piece in the first place. Of course, I was offered a deal if I wanted to re-consign the piece. Nice, huh? Kick the can down the road one more time. Stick someone else with the problem instead? Nice suggestion.
