I was just telling Rob Lifson a few months ago that one of the high end cards that he sold in a previous REA auction was in one of the other auction's current catalog. He wasn't aware of that, but says as long as it's theirs, they can do whatever they want with it. My best guess is that the consigner knew of a card coming up in the future that he wanted MORE than that card he currently owned and didn't want to use additional money for the one he really wanted.
I had said that you could probably make a nice living out of just winning cards in auctions & then reconsigning those same cards 5 years later in the same or other auction house. Say you win cards in 2001 & then reconsign them in 2006, win cards in 2002 & reconsign them in 2007, etc,...
