If you do not mind that you are buying altered shyt, being shylled or both then all good but if you do actually care, have a little bit of fucking discipline and wait for a legit seller or a legit example. I think both still exist in the hobby.
Lining the pockets of pyeces of shyt like Probstein is pathetic. Did you boys not learn from Brent?

When it comes to unethical business practices at auctions that's only half the equation though. Certain types of consignors sell through certain auctions because they know they can manipulate the sale without repercussions, or pass bad cards or any one of a bunch of other problematic practices, the allowing of which actually attracts certain consignors.
I am not accusing anyone in particular, just addressing the idea in your post that it's all the buyers' fault.
