Great to see Bruce back posting again. Lots of really insightful points in his latest effort — and none of the self-congratulatory stuff we used to read.

He's actually been registered for 2 months and has posted a few times but those posts were in the BST. Perhaps he has been practicing restraint.

One typo and I get walloped.

I just thought you were speaking ebonics.

To many on the board this will be like saying that the laundry service on the Titanic used just the right amount of starch, but I mailed my payment last Friday (June 26) for two lots in the most recent Mastro/Legendary auction and received the package today (July 3).

The shipping and handling charge, while high, was pretty much in line with what you expect from most auction houses these days.

Just figured it's only fair to report the good with the bad.

Rob, what's the under/over on the timing of those consignors of those lots getting paid? 450 days?

Rob D. · #**109** 07-03-2009, 01:44 PM

That prop is off the board, Jeff.

Of course I have no idea the answer to your question. All I can post about is what I do know, and in this case (and also my previous purchase with Mastro/Legendary), I received the items I purchased about a week after sending in payment.

I have no problem telling Legemastro to stuff their catalogs until they pay the consignors they stiffed. If enough of us do the same, it may have more impact than all the posts and investigations combined.

It will be easy for me to boycott Legendary's auctions, as I just received the catalog for the auction ending June 24 on July 2. Where is H.G. Wells when we need him?

Leon--Based on the emails you have received would you have any idea of how much money is still owed to consignors.

calvindog · #**113** 07-04-2009, 09:29 AM

What about the consignors who don't read this board? Or those that haven't contacted Leon? It is impossible to know how many consignors still have not been paid. Of course, Doug would know that answer -- woops -- I mean Doug doesn't know, no matter how many emails and phone calls he's received.

In the Mastro movie, Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes will play Doug.

Based on the emails I have received the monies owed by Mastro are not a whole lot....but as Jeff said I only know what was emailed and there are tons of folks that don't read this board...

edited to try to not take sides...which I really shouldn't do
