Heritage Auctions

[E93]

My guess is they won't change until they think this is negatively impacting their bottom line. Nobody has posted over here saying they appreciate what Heritage is doing and wish more auction houses would do the same.

The fact that they seem unwilling to change their policy leads me to believe they are making a lot of extra money doing what they are doing and that they can weather the negative publicity here. They won't even change the written policy so that it is in line with their own claims about their actual practices made above. Bidders should think long and hard about this.

It is just my opinion, but my evaluation of their actions is that they do not care what we, their customers think, at least not in any substantive way. As long as it does not impact their profits, they will not change.

i'd like to thank heritage for sponsoring the nat'l dinner. keep up the good work guys.

Drink a few beers then ask Heritage these questions at the dinner. If I had a problem with a person or company sponsoring an event, I certainly would not attend. A bit hypocritical in my book, but all of the "holier than thou's" will attend regardless.

This is a Net54baseball dinner and HA is helping sponsor it. If anyone doesn't want to come to it just let me know. No worries at all.

You will have no opt outs, many talk, but don't back it up. I put myself through school playing pool, poker, and other bar stuff, learned to look through the
BS. Let's see who bids on the next HA auction, but has posted negative comments on this thread.

And that's the reason why HA will not change their policy. Until a lot of people start voting with their $$$ instead of their mouths, you can't expect anything to change.

As stated, I will never, ever, again bid on something in an HA auction until they address this issue. Who is with me? Take a stand, people, and spread the word.

I have consigned to them for an upcoming auction and have no doubts the items will bring a fair price. I've found that collectors will bid on an item in any auction if they want to add it to their collection. Very few actually stick to their guns and have the self control to follow their words.


I've worked many auctions. I have been an active bidder in some of those auctions for myself during these auctions, nothing hidden. If I knew an item could be bought at a price where it could be flipped for a profit, hell I threw in a bid. I don't care who buys my items as long as I get a decent price.

Have a nice time at the gathering!!
