jay behrensLeon, the big difference between an auctioin house and eBay is that the auction house is the one writing the description. They are aware of certain very important facts, such as an authenticator owning the item in question, or "stalization" work being done on a piece and ommitting this key information from their descriptions.
Hopefully, the days of a collector needing to be psychic in order to ask the proper questions will end soon.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --- WOW, What a ride!
