There is just no way for an auction house to check every car... it really is not their responsibility.
For arguments sake lets say that the auction house checks every car.
Say they check the hidden vins... and they match. Do they stop there? Does that guarantee the vins from another car were not welded in?
Who is to say how much time and effort they should go through?
If you open that can of worms I can not see where it would end. (especially once the Lawyers become involved)
In the end the buyer is responsible for checking the vehicle over, and if the buyer is not knowledgeable then find someone such as Jerry Macneish to inspect the car. (his fees will be money well spent and on a 100k car his fees couldn't be more than 2% of purchase price)
