Frank prisco dealings (chris lewis) piedmont sport dealings

[Bowmanboy]

Hello fellow collectors. Has anyone has dealt with Mr. Frank Prisco? I ask that if you have to please leave your comment below. I may be able to shine a little light based on what happened between Him and I. Frank owns Piedmont Sport and he has recently been shut down from selling on the live auctioneers site for a 15k transaction in which he failed to complete with me. Frank conducted auctions on the site. I am not 100% sure but I do think that to sell on that site, you must be a PA auctioneer. He now sells on amazon under Piedmont Sport

I have been in contact with many other people who have dealt with him and have been victims of bad dealings. Please POST BELOW ON this thread if you have something to share. I may be able to provide some assisitance. I have had to involve legal to attempt recoup my losses. Thankfully, I am in the same state and only a few hours away so it shouldn't be too painful.

If you are out of state or In PA and have conducted business with Piedmont and believe you have been victimized, there may be some help here.... Let me share my story...

I bought several Babe Ruth cards for 15k. They were very quick to call and get payment. They denied accepting a credit card even though there site says they accept them. Piedmont Sport said they sent the merchandise..THEY NEVER DID... And eventually gave me an nontraceable bogus tracking number..... I was shocked that any human being would ship an item of that value with no validated tracking. This was a huge red Flag for us. The tracking they provided was fake. It was never even scanned at the USPS. AFTER MANY NONSENSICAL REASONS WHY THEY WERE NOT SHIPPED, WE WERE HEADING NOWHERE FAST. He proclaimed he had already paid his consignor and now he had to pay me out of his own pocket. I told him that this was not my fault and to issue me my refund. Over a month went by before the CEO of Live Auctioneers got involved. We gave Frank 5 weeks to remit 3k a week until paid in full. He paid me back with my own money for the first four payments for a total 12k He has now dissappeared with no communication. My attorney sent a demand letter giving him a few days to settle. He ignored the letter. NOW HE HAS JUST JUST GONE OFF THE GRID. I have attempted to reach him through various channels all with no success. He has written us off and intends to keep the remainder of what I paid him for a product I never received. This is all one can assume after being told in writing by him that he would not "stiff us" This is where stand at the moment. I am meeting with my legal team to ascertain what can be done to get the money Frank Prisco owes me.
