days and you are paid within 60 days I fail to see what you are complaining about at day 38? Just my opinion. (Now if he is literally trying to flip your money on deals that is wrong, because it puts your money at risk) but if you get paid in the contractually obligated time and its just cause he makes sure all monies clear, and is maybe a little lazy, I don't understand your gripe? It's his choice to extend a buyer extra time as long as you still get paid by the 60 days you agreed upon in my opinion.

I agree if you signed an agreement that is 60 day terms then I wouldn't start crying the blues till day 68 vs. 38...

As far as using your money to run their business...try selling any major retailer today your goods...welcome to the club.

$47K is a lot of cheese. If the contract says 60 days, so be it. However, I don't think that says that the AH has a free pass to ignore the consignor. If they have a whale on the hook that can't (or won't) cough up, why not write a check for a partial amount to the consignor? My instinct says strike a proper balance between consignor and buyer and you won't get posts like this on public message boards.

Prolly a good idea not to call a consignor an "idiot" too.

Yeah pretty much what I was thinking too, that just screams unprofessionalism. Even if the OP called him a prick, you can't engage in degrading your consignors/clients........Smart Business 101.

I would agree but this is the baseball card business so what's new.

For the sake of accuracy, according to the OP, the amount is $4,700, not $47,000.

I think it's wrong for an AH to extend credit to one/some and not others.

[Peter_Spaeth]

The OP doesn't have a LEGAL claim but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to be pissed off.

Believe me, this is the least we should be worrying about when it comes to how many of these AH's run their business. Wrong? Sure! Top of the list? Not even close.

[Cardboard Junkie]

What's sad is that when the AH name is revealed....there is a dozen or more it could be that wouldn't surprise me.

While the original poster strolls down Memory Lane on a Hunt for his Legendary money hoping that the money comes before he leaves it as a Heritage for his children, we all sit watching our bids climb a Mile High hoping for a Good-win and a Clean Sweep in the next auction.
