Seems like auction houses these days often overlook the obvious. Does anyone practice due diligence anymore? Is it pure laziness? Or subversive in the name or profit? You decide...

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Seems like this kind of thing is everywhere now days. MANY people do not seem to be very ethical.

    I hate to say it, but if a person truly investigated many of the individuals running the hobby and auction houses, they would never look at things the same way again. This is not directed at any particular individual or auction house. Just in general. Research is your friend. image
