jay behrensbad examples. When you sell a restored/refurbished car, it is noted as such. I don't think houses have become collectibles, so what's the point there? Ignoring that, when you buy an older house, it's pretty much a given that there has been some sort of work done on the house. This contrary to the way cards are viewed. Cards are viewed as being unaltered, no matter how old.
The point Joe is trying to make is that most people wouldn't have a problem (myself included) with restoration, cleaning, etc if sellers were up front about it. There obviously something ethically and morally wrong with it if sellers aren't willing to disclose this basic information.
