Goldin adds marketplace and weekly auctions

[Peter_Spaeth]

Direct challenge to PWCC, it would appear. First the vault, now this.

I’ve always felt like we don’t have nearly enough auctions.

They know many collectors, investors, and dealers are addicted to auctions. Many can’t control themselves to not bid. Many miss a bigger piece in the main auction, do they chill? No, they look for the next auction. This is smart marketing.

[raulus]

I suspect that this weekly auction will tend to attract a lot of lower-priced items. Not that different than a lot of the PWCC weekly auction pieces. Of course, there will still be some nice stuff sprinkled around here and there!

It could be a nice way to pick up some items that would have historically gone to eBay, but with the new 1099 regime, people are scared to go there. And as Peter notes, if they don't want to go to PWCC to list in their quickie weekly auction, then this is an option.

Not that different than PWCC's weekly auctions, it might be a nice alternative venue to score some pieces at lower prices, and without some of the bidding competition that you get with the premier auctions, since these weekly auctions tend to attract fewer eyeballs.

Do only expensive cards qualify as "nice stuff"? Not in my book.

This is the future.

More AH’s will follow suit.

I think if we had like 6 maybe 7 more, it'd be perfect.....

This made me laugh out loud

Beware - Goldin is trash.

It appears they have not improved.

Three weeks ago, I won a single card in their elite auction.

Immediately, they started sending me texts & emails to pay ASAP. I received 2 texts and 2 emails within 18-24 hrs of auction ending to pay ASAP.

Fine. I want the spamming to end. So I pay w/ credit card and take on their increased BP fee.

Well.... it has been 3 weeks now, and these losers still have not shipped my card.

I once won a single M116 HOF card from them they they failed to ship for over a month - I finally had to chase them down with emails to get them to ship.

Buyers beware from this clown show.

I am currently in the same boat, waiting on cards from that same auction.

Really chaps me that they are so damn terrible and inefficient (and expensive)

The last multiple posts on the following thread involved the same shipping issues experienced by other members, and included a post by Ken.

I do not mind waiting on shipping. AH get backed up, I understand.

But back the F off the fascist constant emails & texts, forcing me to pay ASAP.

I wanted to pay by mailing a check USPS ... but Goldin's hounding me forced me pay by credit card & eat the 3% fee .... just to wait now 3-4 weeks before my card arrives.

EDIT - Venting here must have worked - they just shipped my card within the last hour.

No
Venting on here actually didn’t work.
I had a staff member contact you and ask for your name and email so we could get you shipped. You did not provide that info to them (they forwarded me your reply), so we could not help you. That said, it appears as you said your order shipped anyway, which means the efforts I referred to in my post 2 days ago has worked. At this point over 75% of the backlog has been cleaned up , and again I am sorry for any inconvenience this delay caused.
Once again, if it makes you feel better to post insults feel free to do so, but if you need to get something accomplished I am going to be very hands on. So feel free to email me personally at ken@goldin.com

Whether right or wrong, it's nice to see an auction owner respond to complaints on net54.

No tracking number showing in my order, so it probably did not ship yet.
Someone most likely just clicked "SHIPPED" in the system, and then who knows.
