Subject: RE: Liable to say anything for the sale



At one auction I attended his quote was :

"If you are not one hundred percent satisfied with your auction purchase then you can just keep it anyway".

Translation: If you take a chance on something and it turns out to be a dud after you got it home, you can let it sit around for years until you finally have your own auction, and get a chance to foist it on someone else.

The guys who studied the underlying economics of this principle actually won the Nobel Prize:
