ebay finds that PWCC engaged in shill bidding?

What if someone in CA wants to save 7.25-10.25% on sales tax. Can they drive up to Oregon, request their items from the Vault in person and commit tax evasion? There has to be something in place to prevent that from happening?

Also, I thought this was genius and timely marketing from the folks at Love of the Game! "When it's time to consign your valuable vintage cards and memorabilia, integrity should be at the top of your list of requirements."
It goes on to say "Your cards are important enough that they shouldn't be locked in a vault for future resale" Wow that's a burn for both PWCC and Goldin if I ever heard one.

No, I believe you have to show proof of residence. Although, who knows with PWCC. If the rumors are all true, one might be inclined to assume they have an on-site service set up for you to "move to Oregon" while picking up your cards? Perhaps they'll even file your taxes for you as well? lol
