All this discussion has convinced me that perhaps I have been looking at the
posting of auction hammer prices incorrectly. I now SUPPORT the posting of
the prices.

However, I do feel that they should be posted by the people actually running
the auction as an OFFICIAL record of the auction results. This should be
done with the specifications of the auction lot as well for claification on
the quality of the piece offered.
