Anybody can sue anyone for anything. Like most of these stories about frivolous lawsuits, they make for interesting reading but not much else. Now, should the plaintiff prevail in court, and the case subsequently gets appealed to such-and-such court, and that superior court makes a decision that says auctioneers must be held to a high standard of accuracy, well that would be newsworthy.
We also are hearing only one side of the story. Although there are certainly people who file frivolous lawsuits, most people don't and most lawyers aren't interested in representing them. Not only will the plaintiff have to prove misrepresentation on the part of the auctioneer and seller, he has to prove he was actually harmed by their actions. It's pretty difficult to prove damages in an auction situation, where there is at least one other bidder who thought the item was worth nearly as much as the winning bidder. Few attorneys will be interested in taking a case on contingency when the prospect of collecting damages is limited. Let me guess: Is the plaintiff suing in small claims court?
