Auction houses don't usually pay in cash because they need the paper trail for their OWN records.
We do NOT report sales to the IRS or the state Departments of revenue but are required to keep our records for 7 years in case they are ever needed for divorces, taxes, estates etc. If you get audited and they somehow get to us, they are going to get the info so I would suggest honesty might be the best policy.
