Seems unfair. To me, the seller is responsible for vetting the facts, not the auction house. They sell thousands of cars each year, and I'm sure they are not staffed to authenticate each one. Unfortunate they lost out on the commission, but that's the way it goes sometimes; it's just business. The seller on the other hand needs to do due diligence; they're the ones losing out in the end.

I don't have much to base this on aside from one story that was told to me. I believe the consignor is responsible for the commission. If that is incorrect, please tell me.

Bad deal from all angles.

There is both a buyer and a seller fee to be paid on every car unless a deal is struck between either party with the house.
I have seen the house reduce the fee to make a sale but it is not what they like to do.

I personally have no problem with the house being responsible for a for holding a seller accountable as to the accuracy of their vehicle. If the seller sells under the "numbers matching" description and it turns out that it is a restamp the seller should be responsible for any arbitration not the house. However, the house should be responsible for putting the process in place because they are making money on both parties.

I have a customer who had a - - paint code 1970 W-30 post sedan that was built in spring of 1970. It was originally Nugget Gold but was painted a dark Chocolate Brown. Originally a-black bench 4 Speed, but someone put black Buckets in it. It had a W-27 Differential in it. It was an ex Drag car out of California? Everything was numbers matching except for the Short Block (Which he had). Sold it to a guy in northern Illinois about 8-10 years ago for under $20,000 if I remember correctly. Nicest original car I ever worked on.

Here's your Brown (Nugget Gold W30) Look at the pictures, W27 diff? or just the cover?

Default 300k 442 w-30 at Mecum returned

I have the VIN at work in my Customer file dating back to June of 2011 when I last worked on it. I'll have to check, but it looks like the exact, same car.
