by registering for Heritage's auctions you are agreeing to their terms and conditions, so in court they might just win. This policy of selling already sold items for more money is a common auctioneers practice ( at least to me it was). I've seen it happen many times at art auctions and antique auctions I've attended. I've bought lots from auctioneers after a phone bidder had already thought they had won a lot. It's a greedy business I'm afraid , and competition is stiff for all these auction houses no matter what record sales they may or may not be having.
This old surfer hippy guy from California I knew in high school used to always say something that at the time made me laugh, but when I thought about it it rings true. He used to always tell me " greed kills, Jiver", "greed kills". He may have been on to something I think.
