Auction mistakes - web-site?
Posted By: Scott
I just received an auction catalog from a trusted auction house. The catalog contains a misrepresented item which has a starting bid 4X it's value, and while the item is worth about $20 (that's what I paid for one), it will probably sell for $500-$5,000 based on the erroneous description. |
