The instance where auctioning a dubious item might be considered acceptable
is when the seller will give the money back if it's turns out to be fake
and there is reasonable return time period. Though most auctions houses
dislike returns, not only because it involves returning $$, but it's a
hassle. Obviously, the return of $1 million dollar lots is more of a
hassle that $20, especially if the consignors have been paid.
