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

Maybe I just don't get this.

Nobody wins here.

SCP looks like a bunch of uncaring morons because the image that was used for bidding on the item is pathetic.

Ryan gets a substandard item and he's not happy about the situation (I wouldn't be either).

The only thing Ryan accomplishes is to expose SCP's poor decision to not "take care of business".

SCP will lose more than the amount that they would have compensated Ryan.

I just don't get it. Are people just that ignorant and uncaring?

SCP - wake up! They might save a few dollars by not dealing with Ryan but in the end I think they've really blown it because they've probably lost Ryan's business and more - and for what?

I get the feeling that if this was a large reputable auction house that things might have been handled differently.

Does anyone believe that there's still time for SCP to do the right thing?
