JayBefore we canonize the consignor I would like to know if, when he saw the auction description(either through an early consignor's catalog or on line), he contacted Mile High to tell them that their description was misleading. Since we are told that Mile High claims that they just received the information as to the extent of the restoration I am forced to assume that the consignor did not contact them to tell them.
Having said that, it is hard for me to believe that before yesterday Mile High did not know the extent of the restoration. If you can see it in a scan I would think that it would stand out in person.
Also, if Mile High gives bidders the right to cancel existing bids will the current high bid be reduced to the level that would have existed if these cancelled bids never were made. For example, if Bidder A bid $4500 and other bidders subsequently topped that bid and other bids up to the current level then if Bidder A cancels his bid all other bids must be reduced down.
