JimB,

I couldn't agree with you more, transparency is important, but is it fair to the auction houses that they are held to a higher standard than other businesses.

For instance, stock brokers can sell stocks to relatives, employees, and friends, that wouldn't be a problem. Real estate agents can sell property to relatives, employees etc.

So is it fair to hold auction houses to a higher standard than professionals?
