My feeling has always been that the auction house is not responsible for a sellers' intentionally or unintentionally misrepresenting a car. However it would be a great policy for the auction house to expeditiously remediate this unjustice on the buyers behalf (buyers' feel more comfortable). Next if a punishment could be imposed by the auction house to deter offenders such as banning and prosecution if warranted(Crooks might think twice about using your venue to dump bogus cars). Finally it would be great for buyers and added protection for the auction house if cars that have certified pedigree by NCRS or Bloomington or other judging associations gain some status/recognition. Possibly sellers with cars that have gone through such processes have reduced commissions or some type of incentive.

This is not the end all, but a start to a process that can only be good for the hobby.

Drew I appreciate your open minded approach and willingness to have a real dialog on this issue. You have turned 180 degrees in my book.
