Thanks Jake I feel better about myself now.

Something to consider: How many major companies, even when informed of fake or counterfeit items in their auctions and presented with strong evidence, refuse to remove said questionable lots?

I can think of several recent examples. And historically? Many more.

Too soon?

In an ideal world every auction house would be 100% accurate in their descriptions and scrupulously honest. However, we do not live in an ideal world. All major auction houses make mistakes. The sheer volume of lots per employee that are processed makes this inevitable. My guess is that going forward Al and Jeff will take this as a challenge to improve their description accuracy. One thing they don’t have to work on is their honesty. A lot of other auctions cannot make that claim.

What examples do you speak of recently...(in 2017-2018)
