But I didn't put responsibility on the auction house. I just said it sucks they don't vet the lies.

Arguing semantics I see. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] So they are to examine every listing from every car that is brought to their auction, then get with <span style="font-weight: bold">their</span> expert so that they are all &quot;truthful&quot; with no deception...otherwise <span style="font-weight: bold">they</span> are perpetuating the lies...


Diego, I see that this particular car raised your hackles for some reason. Did you bother to send an email to Drew at Russo and Steele? He's a very reasonable person. Let me know what he said...if you emailed or talked to him. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

If you didn't try to let them know, why not?

Like I said, bravo to the individual above for pointing out that this car isn't what it's cracked up to be...that's a good thing. I am thinking that for what it sold for...people probably knew anyways...it for sure didn't break the bank [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Well the auction house could ask for a certificate of authenticity of every car they sell that goes over a certain value. Then there is this guy who wrote the certificate who can be blamed if it is wrong and the auction house don't have to do any extra work. Compare with the art business.

The seller has to pay for an inspection that would be in everybody's interest, well except the fraudsters :-)

Not sure what purpose that would serve since his company is not liable for the lies of the seller.

Besides, they're in the business of making money, not being the police for their customers.

I can't really fathom why so you're willing to defend liars, unless that's just an issue of semantics.
