I understand the situations are different but through the years I have "returned" two items I have won. I put the word "returned" in parenthesis because one I never had in hand.
The first was with Heritage. They had a framed item that hid some small print that told me if the item was legit or not. I asked my questions and showed them another of the same item with the wording well before the auction was over and they replied that if I won the auction they would then take it out of the frame to examine. If the wording was present they would send it to me if not they would agree to not hold me to my winning bid.
They took it out of the frame, the wording was not there, They still insisted the item was original, but true to their word they did not hold me to my bid. They later relisted it, noting the missing printed words, while still saying it was original.
The second was a listing in a Lelands auctions with a number of photos. I forget the exact amount. Only a few photos were shown, but the listing stated that 30% were autographed. When I received the lot nowhere near 30% were autographed. I asked to return the lot and they agreed.
As noted these are different circumstances than the OP asked about, but to say all sales are final etc. that is not always the case.
