I find it hilarious that people are using terms like �legwork� and �research� to describe using Google on your phone while watching football. Let�s be honest.

I find it beyond hilarious that people are using terms like "inefficient market" to denote not every collector on earth being aware of every single auction. Or that there's an endless plethora of "70 year old widows" all in disarray due to being completely clueless regarding their husbands world class "caramel card" collections, and distinguishing between "NM-MT condition as opposed to EXMT" Completely comical to say the least....
Let's be honest.

If this board has no rule against outing an auction, then I think that it is fine to do so.

Not everyone agrees with other�s �unwritten rules.�

None of us own the auction, so none of us have the right to suppress the information on it. And if it isn't a board rule...it isn't a board rule.

Out away!

PS: as a guy who flips stuff all the time I get the frustration of seeing a great deal evaporate but a deal is not something i have a right to unless and until the seller and I agree on terms. At that point anyone stepping into my deal is interfering with my contract. But lets not confuse the two things: outing an auction doesn't affect anyone's right to a deal.

As far as AH's go, the onus is on them to get it right in terms of valuation and lotting.

You are correct, but some people will get mad (I didn't say me).

I think lost in all this is the fact that the auction house totally screwed the pooch here and did a horrible job for its consigner, and the consigner screwed up by picking this auction house. I will never consign anything to this auction house, but you can bet your ass I am signing up (unless they block me &#128578

But somehow it becomes serious research when someone uses microfiche and has classical music on in the background?
