Barry,

That may or may not be true. But the gist of the complaints on this thread pertained to the bush league tactics of what Heritage was doing, not that it might have violated eBay's rules. And that was the focus I was responding to. And I will reiterate my point that it is naive to expect any profit-seeking auction house to have done anything differently if they felt by doing so they would negatively impact their prices realized.

And to go further, is this action any more repugnant that the action of an auction house puffing their catalog offerings to the point of arguably crossing the line to outward misrepresentation? You and I have discussed that on a number of occassions. We abhor such practices, but grudgingly admit that with some auction houses it is a common occurrence.
