I responsibly sell on Proxibid and at times my auctions get less attention due to these "dream" or "fantasy" auctions. I side with Proxibid it would be impossible for them to authenticate everything that goes on, but I do believe that if they were made aware and things were proven to them they may remove that particular auctioneer. They really do seem to want to be a marketplace where people can feel comfortable shopping. However, it is the responsibility of the auctioneer to do his due diligence when making claims. I could not imagine putting up a Babe Ruth signed ball without any or little investigation.
