I agree, as an auctioneer myself for many years, that I had more of an obligation to consignors than to bidders. Consignors sign contracts, while bidders are on their own. But if someone asked me that question I would feel obligated to give an honest answer.

There's a difference between being honest about a card's merits, and talking a buyer out of a card.
If a buyer asks me specifics about a card, of course I can be honest about the card's qualities.
