No vetting of the Auction Houses they allow to sell, Obvious Fakes being sold from Scam Auction Houses, with no employees listed or any physical address. CEO Phil Michaelson an obvious hypocrite look at his twitter page love the retweeted quote about "Honesty" All the while his business is trolling for new buyers for his auctions houses to rip them off. Phil is this what they teach you at Harvard (ethics 101 haha), how unethical can these auction platforms be allowing this to go on? They make a percent off every bid that goes through them, good luck trying to recover your money when you buy a FAKE ITEM. If your going to buy something at an auction do not expect it to be authentic huge majority is not, its the 3rd largest scam out there and if you do go direct through the auction house not a platform, If the house does not have a physical address, name of persons working there, and only takes debit, cash or wire transfer, run away. Auction Platforms should be held accountable and there should be laws protecting consumers from the fraud they engage in, Where are all the Harvard Lawyers dealing with consumer law and protection?

So many auctions on their website selling fakes, google the address sometimes a condo will come up, If an auction house does not have a physical address for viewing, name of parties working there, history, provenance of items run away, and even then they fake a lot of this. A huge percent of items sold are fake and auction platforms make money off this, should be criminal, they need to vet the sellers, Invaluable will not correct this, Never deal with an auction that will only take cash, wire money, or debit, you will loose your money. Buy something if you like it but don't expect it to be authentic. They allow auction houses to resurface with new names multiple times selling same fakes and for this they get a percent of your purchase. Boycott this save your money!
