Default Auction requirements

The auction requirements were a 25% deposit of what you thought you were
going to spend. ID. Company card. blah blah blah.

When I got there, all I did was fill out the stub on a card, and was handed
back the top portion.

I provided no identification of any type. I made no money deposit of any
type.

If I had been a putz, or had an ax to grind with this company, or overspent,
or just had buyer's remorse, I could have filled in Joe Schmuckatelli,
Hillbilly, Kansas, and bought a LOT of stuff that they would have been stuck
with. If I was buying with cartel cash, I could have come and gone, and
there would be absolutely no evidence save a little forensics that I was
ever there.

I didn't get the thought till today, and was wondering how the
pre-registration and identification processes are at other auctions.

I think the last few I was at where I was not a repeat customer, I had
to give them my drivers license.
