Auction Scans/Descriptions Expectation vs Reality

[parkplace33]

Poor form or laziness by that ah. I would steer clear of that card (unless you are fine with the grade/ perceived scans).

If that is the AH's policy/response, I'd avoid them, period. Because if they're that lazy and clueless to not provide a basic service like describing an item, then you can bet they cut corners and fall short in areas you're not even aware of at the moment.

Funny thread ….. if this AH turned out to be one of the two or three chosen few that are worshipped, there would immediately be 5 follow up posts defending their response as eminently reasonable and suggesting to the OP that he really ought to better educate himself.

Indeed. Some AH can do no wrong no matter how wrong they are. The defenders on this board will not tolerate the honest criticism.

I don't understand. Why would anyone, other than the owner(s), feel compelled to rush to the defence of any auction house?

Because they want the auction house to be their friend. Or, to be fair, they may genuinely have a good opinion of the business and or be friendly with the owner. To a great degree this is or behaves like a small hobby where lots of people know each other at different levels.

Yeah, I suppose. My own relationship with auction houses is strictly arm's length. I'm not really "friendly" with any.
