Auction Houses...who pays consigners in a timely fashion?
I have had experience with maybe 3-4 of the "major" auction houses in the hobby. And honestly...my experiences are pretty mixed...running the gamut from very poor communication/customer service/ridiculously long wait times for payment...to the opposite.
From your experiences out there...who pays consigners in the most timely manner?

Robert Edwards was pretty good. PWCC, you have to wait until all the auctions are finished, but if you don't mind waiting a month, they are good. Memory Lane was pretty good. Bill Goodwin was good. I will let you know about Huggins and Scott in a couple of months. Have never really had a problem, although I have heard horror stories....

Sterling, Love of the Game, Probstein and REA are fast. Legendary was painfully slow. Mile High was reasonable.
VCBC when Dennis Purdy owned it ran a really good poll on auction houses and dealers. Wish there was something like that again.

In my experience...very few of the AH's are consistent in their practices...and being on vacation or taking time off is not a legitimate excuse for why I haven't received my consignment check or my items in a timely manner.

I think my point of this exercise has been proven...atleast to me. I have had some of my worst experiences with some of the AH's that some of you had great experiences with. So maybe this is a product of the actual items being auctioned...in addition obviously to how frequently one uses said AH.

I've been very fortunate as the few times I've consigned w/ auction houses, I receive payments pretty fast.
The quickest was w/ REA w/ their last auction as I rec'd my winning lots & consignment check 3 days after the auction ended.
