Well, they need your phone number in case something happens with one of your bids or consignments and your email is down. I've never been cold-called by an AH, so I don't think that is a realistic concern that they would abuse a phone #, but if you are concerned give them your work #, which is what I do. I agree there is absolutely no reason for collecting a SSN, DL # or other significant ID number. If you call someone there they will waive that for you.
