Al SimeoneBarry,
You are right It was a gift I take back my offer to consign it!!! SORRY LEON LOL
Jeff,
Yes( some) no all small auction houses do it and (some) not all big auction houses do it. Its been a dirty secret for years thats is now just starting to be exposed in the media. Its finally comming to light probably because some very wealthy clients have been burned (so to speak) and have the means to fight it in the legal system. Case in point as whats been happening to a large N.Y. auction house. As Im sure you are aware. As a person who has delt with many auctions and auction houses for anyone to be that niave that this pratice doesnt exist well as the saying goes" one tends to get what one deserves " The only ones who dont know this pratice exists are the Truely honest auctioneers. MAYBE LIKE BARRY!!! Yes I would now say DEFINETELY LIKE BARRY!! see Barry you have already started making me a big believer in you!!! LOL
