Is there a reason Steve doesn't come on and explain the transaction himself? Wouldn't that be better than alot of heresay evidence? If I missed Steve's comments, I'm sorry. But short of that, it appears - to my mind - that he may not want to be on the record with any comments.
Just my 2cents.

There is this message Steve sent to Leon to post at the beginning of the thread:

Hi Leon,
Can you please post this for me:
"This post is not accurate. With very large collections that involve hundreds and hundreds of lots and photographs, we do have to charge an extra fee.
The labor involved in this is extremely extensive and we take care to break these collections up over hundreds of lots to maximize the value for our consignors.
Mr. Borozny will get 60% of the buyer's premium, this was explained to him over the phone.
We explained to Mr. Borozny at the time how much work would be involved in this collection, that literally a team of people would be working on it, so we will have to charge for that.
We have never and would never take advantage of someone. The amount of work going carefully through a collection of this size, with most items not organized or authenticated, is a massive endeavor.
Thanks much - Steve Verkman"

Other than that and OP’s two posts, there hasn’t been anything else from either of the two principals.
