Hey Drew - your market segment is telling you something. Change your business paradigm, and think about how you could help us clean up the hobby. How about this: YOU set a standard of disclosure for all of the cars that pass through your house. If the seller's representation meets YOUR standard, and you offer the car, then everyone wins - the seller gets the sale, you make money in your business, and the buyer gets what was represented. After all, the buyer is paying the house money as well as the seller. I'm sure you have all sorts of knee jerk reactions as to why this simple system won't work. I will make a prediction, however, RS can be the absolute best, most respected auction house in American, bar none, if YOU will lead with integrity. If not, the Feds will pass laws, regs, and fees to govern our hobby. In addition, a knowledgeable customer base with the means to buy your cars, will run from your show (if indeed they haven't already) So how about it, Drew, if you love the hobby as you say you do, step up, and help us keep this thing alive and well. Bob
