I just want to put in my two cents on behalf of Henry, having had many dealings, both selling and buying, with him over the years. In that time I have not had a single occasion on which to doubt his honesty or professionalism. In addition, Henry is a class act all the way: polite, friendly, and intelligent. As to the question of why his eBay auctions get terrific prices, How about this: he has the highest quality material; his descriptions and photos are the best possible; he alerts his clientele before every auction; and perhaps most pertinent of all, each item carries with it his reputation for knowledge and accuracy. Finally, when it comes to his famous photo auctions--HE WROTE THE BOOK! So why should it be a mystery that his auctions do so well? Like every auction, however, there's always a few bargains to be had for the bottom feeders like me. As for the allegations of shill bidding, let's see the proof. Since it's eBay, the bidding is open for all to see. Shouldn't be too hard to prove shill bidding with all the examples to study from his auction. Based on my experiences with Henry, I'm not expecting to see any.
