let's not get too self-righteous here

There has been a lot of discussion about whether a seller can reasonably sell things "as is, no returns." Many people have come down hard on those who follow these processes. Before we crack back on Joe Blow selling a few cards on ebay, let's take into account that many of the auction houses flatly refuse returns on items (I reviewed my catalogue collection and found the following: Leland's: "ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS", Grey Flannel: "ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO RETURNS", About Time Auctions: "Professionally graded cards can NOT be returned."). I'm not favorably disposed towards these no return auctions, but I don't begrudge someone the right to state such terms clearly and I think it is unfair to treat people who do so as though they are committing some kind of crime or immoral act.
