Default How to get ripped off by SCP Auctions & Sotheby's

Posted By: peter chao

Jeff L.,

And where do you get your legal training from? In general, auction bidders are very sophisticated. I doubt that Ryan would get much sympathy. Also, this photo is probably pretty rare a finder of fact may very well think that Ryan got a bad deal but paid an amount that was within the ballpark for the photo.

Also traditionally auction sales are "as is."

Furthermore, the key reason why litigation would be prohibitively expensive is the need for an expert witness. The witness alone would probably charge around $5,000.

I say that we help Ryan out. Let's start an internet boycott of SCP. The news will spread like wildfire and SCP would be quick to give in.
