VRM,
I was probably a little to concise. I was meaning some of the people who have the means to spend millions on art, documents, cars and artifacts etc. They should either have the knowledge, or the resources, to determine if a particular item should be in an auction or for sale. It's those who know, or suspect, that the item is or could be shady but buy it anyway and say nothing. Basically the old age "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" applies no matter how rare and expensive an item is.
