warshawlawI was interested in a couple of Exhibit card multiple card big lots that were offered w/virtually no description of the cards in them. Nearly every auction I've ever participated in offers a breakdown of the cards in such a lot in the auction description. I would think that not doing so turns off a lot of bidders right away because there are people who prefer not to bother asking. But I digress.
I emailed a request for a breakdown. I also emailed a question about a specific card that had been listed in one lot but that I think was misidentified (my research leads me to believe it was a 1927 issue, not a 1928 issue as it is listed). His response: call me between 1 and 5 my time and we can discuss it. That is, call him at his toll number in NY (I'm in CA) during daytime hours. So, we have no breakdown available via email, no response to my question about the date of one of the listed cards, and a request that a potential customer call in on his own dime to get the info. No offer to call me, no offer to email me info. Not a real professional way of handling an auction inquiry, in my view.
