Rob DewolfI'm interested to hear opinions about how much -- if any -- responsibility falls on an auction house to tell a would-be consignor (or a consignor already on board) that there's already a similar item (i.e. a T206 Plank) in the auction. This isn't to imply that either REA or Mastro didn't make the sellers of the Planks aware that theirs wouldn't be the only one in the respective auctions. I have no idea. But I know that if I was consigning an item like a Plank and the catalog arrived and there was another offered in addition to mine, I wouldn't be happy had I not been notified before I signed the papers.
