No auction house that deals in this kind of volume could reasonably be expected to authenticate their consignments. It is simply impossible. However when known information surfaces what should we do? I realize Gary is ABSOLUTELY not trying to deceive anyone. According to this thread he is very forthcoming about it. I am just wondering if we have some responsibility to alert prospective buyers at BJ if we can provide information like Chuck has in his possession which seems to leave no room for doubt?

Can anyone argue that each time someone sells a rebody to a customer without full disclosure that it is bad for us all? Year before last a new buyer bought a three quarter of a million dollar Ford at BJ that although it was real was not as represented. The buyer learned his car was actually worth about 200K and was furious so instead of building a 50 car collection that he planned on he is done with muscle cars. Is this good for all of us who own muscle cars?? Or is it better to continue to look the other way?

No auction house is going to put that much effort in identifying contravercial cars simply because they are greedy money pigs (IMO). Why openly disclose and potentially lose 100K in commissions on one sale?

Having said that, I do believe they have a (ready for this Steve) fiduciary duty to inform and/or educate potential buyers on some of the crap that is going on as well as identifying what are some of the things you should look out for.
