jay behrensAaron, you can believe whatever you like about me. I could care less what you opinion since by evidence of your posts, you do not have an open mind and have preconceived notions that you will not change no matter how wrong you may be. At least I've formed an opinion based on facts from every side. You cannot say the same.
Here is my challenge to you, since you seem so passionate about your stance, start an authenication service and run it the way you think all of them should be run. This should be a slam dunk and you will get rich. If I was a gambling man though, I'd be willing to bet on 2 things, you won't take me up on this offer (insert lame answer and reasons here) and if by some strange alignment of the stars you actually do, you will go belly up within a year becuase you probably won't find an auction house to agree to your terms. It's nice to sit at home in your win-win baracalounger, but obviously you don't understand the realities of the situation.
Do I like the situation. No. But until the auction houses change the way they operate, there isn't a whole the authenticators can do. I can't do much about it since they don't use authenticators or bid in the big house auctions, and that's pretty much how you influence a company. And as long as you keep bidding in MAstro auctions, you are condoning their every behiour that you detest.
