Aaron- your points are well taken and I agree this forum is for discussing issues like this. I just look at things a little differently sometimes and don't always agree with the general consensus.

For example, I respect REA's policy of not owning cards they auction, and Rob is a friend. But if an auction house chooses to only sell consigned material is that a guarantee of anything? Likewise, because I own a percentage of lots in my current auction is it right to assume that something unethical must be going on?

I just like to look a little more closely at things, that's all. Just because an employee purchases a lot doesn't mean the world is coming to an end. Was it done in good faith? That's a more important question to me.
