For anyone considering consigning to American Memorabilia (AMI), a word of caution... Count on it taking a minimum of 5 - 6 months to be paid for your consignments. This is a trend that has grown progressively worse, as time goes on. I am still waiting for compensation from items in their November '07 Auction, with no reimbursement date in the forseeable future.

There is only one person there who oversees consignment checks (her initials are "K") and she is rarely present. She is readily accessible however, if you have a payment due, are attending an out of town Trade Show, or are considering consigning something.

So unless you feel like waiting half a year to be paid, my strongest advice is to use ebay or one of the many other auction house alternatives. Just a helpful FYI for fellow Forum members...
