Talk about staking out a position squarely in the middle. Have you considered politics?

After Al's heartfelt apology I think makeup sex is in order.

I have only won one item in a LOTG auction, and the packaging was the best and safest I've ever seen from any auction house (or eBay seller, for that matter). I hope I win more in the future and I'm happy for the shipping to take a little extra time to make sure it's done correctly. Thanks, Al.

All I can say is my very first auction house experience was with LOTG and it was a great one! I had a few rookie questions about some things and Al was always quick to reply with helpful answers. I had spent no money with him and no money on auctions before, but this didn't matter to Al, he decided he would earn my business!

Being new to the world of auctions houses and reading some of the horror stories you hear about with some of the other companies I was very tentative about jumping in. The respect & kindness I was shown by Al encouraged me to give it a shot and I was rewarded with outstanding services and a new avenue to explore in my never ending search of St. Louis Cardinals & St. Louis Browns items.

I am sorry you had a bad experience your first time out but I really encourage you to give them another shot. Since my first experience with LOTG I have bid with a few other auction houses and received pretty good services but nobody has gone above and beyond like LOTG does. I think you would be hard pressed to find better!!

Keep up the good work LOTG! I can't wait for the next Set Builders Auctions!!

Thanks,
Scott

I'm just mad I didn't win anything in his last auction. Hopefully Al can do something about that

I assume you were talking about my post when you responded

Yeah, I'm in the middle because I can see both sides...but that's also my point, Peter. I learned that early on...to look at both sides and assess and try not to make a snap judgement. Although I probably wouldn't have went to the extent that Mark did, I still understand his frustration and making him feel like an a**hole (like some did) would have been the last thing I would have done in response to his rant.

As far as politics goes...never!!!
