David Hall T206 Part IV – Auction Ends April 16, 2020!

Isn't silence the typical damage-control method used by large organizations, with the expectation/realization that customer furor will soon die down and then pretty much disappear?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Possibly Val, but I can think of instances where companies, even huge ones, stepped up and took their lumps, and followed up with meaningful change. That always impressed me.

All too often, I suppose it is.

PSA is of this same mindset, and it has worked well for them (so far, anyway...)

I haven't communicated with Heritage but there is always a chance the sole consignor had a say in what to do.

I spoke to 3 representatives from HA including Chris Ivey. None of them knew what the technical issue was. I framed that it had to be known so it could be resolved. It would give confidence to the bidders if we knew what the glitch was. No one had any idea about it.

I also asked if they would issue a statement that their employees would not bid during this extra day. They were clear that they would not do that either even though the extra day gives thier employees an extra advantage.

It did not give me confidence as they don’t know much and not addressing the issue. I’ve been consigning cards lately...they were on my list, not anymore.

If they don't know what the glitch is, can they say with any confidence that it will not happen again in any other auction? And I am talking wine, art, comics...

I definitely thought about this, it wasn't a consignors (plural) problem on this one, just one guy.

Doesn't change the poor management of whatever it is that happened.

I realize mistakes get made, and I'm sure I'll be back bidding next time. But at least in this instance, I didn't like what happened so I ceased bidding - and it worked, I was able to keep all my money.
