Ryan ChristoffDD,
If anyone is considering a total ban on auction houses, but could only do so by also boycotting mine, I encourage them to do so. I'm willing to lose some money if it means the other auction houses do to. Hopefully it will be proportional, so for every $1 I lose, Sotheby's/SCP (for example) will lose $1,000.
Plus, what makes you think CubanBaseballCards.com isn't as shady as the rest? It's the only auction that I know for certain isn't screwing people and ripping them off, but that's only because I have inside information. But YOU don't know that. In fact, you'd be an idiot not to assume that all auction houses are in business specifically to steal your money and misrepresent what they are auctioning.
Since you cannot KNOW for certain that my auctions are any different than the rest, even if you THINK they are, I strongly recommend that you and everyone else should boycott all auctions across the board, including mine.
In all seriousness, I am honestly considering a change in the terms and conditions that states that anyone who continues to bid with Sotheby's/SCP Auctions may not bid in my auctions. Any bid in my auction will be considered a declaration by the bidder that they did not bid in the last Sotheby's/SCP auction and do not intend to do so in the future.
The other thing is, are you sure there are even going to be any more CubanBaseballCards.com auctions? You might have underestimated the frustration levels caused by the awesome world of baseball card/memorabilia auctions.
What a great hobby! Like painting with watercolors or planting a rose garden, it's so nice to just relax and enjoy it.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........
