You know I respect your thoughts very much. You make some good points and I think if you see Joanne's response you will see that she agrees too. We can only do what we can do to add the structure and transperancy as far as we can...A third party to me is someone like a CPA or a lawyer outside of the hobby to perform the brief service. I am positive that we, and/or a consignor, can come up with a good third party if need be. As for a dummy bidder....Well, when the 3rd party goes to call Mr.Dummy and no one is ever home it will raise a red flag. If you want someone to be real and fake bid for a consignor then knowing they might have to answer a question from a 3rd party who is investigating should be a deterrent. Yes, you can come up with a way to beat every check and balance we put in place but that is beside the point. We have come up with the best policies we can think of and are always open to suggestion. We hope everyone will be comfortable in our process. We will do our best to that end.....btw, I hope to see you bidding .....

edited to add...Barry- where did you see the word "team" of auditors....this would be able to be done very easily and most likely all over the internet...not teams of ruffians coming to doors to whack someone....


edited spellin' and some grammar...thanks Barry
