In fairness to James, I've only been on this board for a month, and I think it's a very "powerful" board, especially because there are a lot of people here who spend big bucks at auctions and consign frequently to auctions also. For example, in the Heritage "Slow Delivery" thread, someone from Heritage posted to defend themselves, and try to make sure that other people who posted in that thread got their stuff delivered. In the Mear's thread where a consigner didn't like how he was treated, reps from Mears had to respond directly and indirectly. And I'm sure it was similar in the Mile High thread, where it was brought to their attention that someone was unhappy about slow delivery, so they contacted the poster to resolve the issue. If a similar post was done on the Collectors forum, I don't think anyone would notice. So if people have legitimate complaints, all the better to post here. However, because this board can have a lot of influence, still might have been better to check if you got the item already before the post went out. Still, an apology was made, and definite kudos to Bob for trying to make things right.
