Steve Murray"1)No bidding by auction houses employees on their own auctions."
I respectfully disagree with this one Rule. Most of the major auction houses have ardent collectors in their employ. Just look at Pete C. at Mastro. I think it would be unfair to limit his participation just because of his employment status.
The right to bid should be disclosed with a "Chinese Wall" built between those employees who want to bid and those with access to the ongoing bidding process.
In all other respects I like your list and would be more inclined to bid with auction houses that sign-on to them.
