Leland’s owes the consignor their share of the sale if the top bidder follows through on their bid and pays for the item. No more, no less.
I don’t think it’s as complicated as you guys are making it out to be.
I mean, you can make it as complicated as you want, and hire Alan Dershowitz to take it all the way to The Supreme Court if you want to throw a lot of money (and time) away.
Make an example of a customer who obviously is a victim of dumb circumstance in order to make some ridiculous point or hold them to some legal technicality.
It’s silly.
It’s a free football that a dumb jock threw into the stands.
BTW, I’m not the high bidder on this item. Just want to make sure I’m being transparent in my argument. 😂
I’d have to explain to my wife why I just sold our house, everything in it, both our cars and a good part of our retirement fund, for a $40,000 football.
I’m not normally this sympathetic to people who have enough money to throw around on baubles like this.
