I get the outrage about Auction Houses that are conservative with their description or don’t do due diligence but frankly it’s a 50 50 transaction somewhere out there are bidders not prepared to do research, invest in books or indeed join online forums. We all get caught out occasionally but some of these copies are well documented and in the C21 there is so much more research material available to the potential bidder that I am pressed to have much if any sympathy. If people keep bidding for cr*p then less reputable auction houses will take consignments from the crooks peddling this stuff.
