SUBJECT: BEWARE Steve Verkman, Keith Vari, Leland’s, Clean Sweep & Paragon auctions

[Vintage Vern]

Do they have any termination clause listed?

It looks like the date on the contract is November 30, 2024. The OP didn't say when he talked to Steve about trying to renegotiate the terms, but if it's already been 2 months, I would think that a fair amount of time has already been spent working on the consigned items. Even if the contract was somehow broken, I would expect the auction house would have to be compensated for any work already done.

If consignor raised the issue early enough, consignee may be out of luck even if they did some work.

The OP also has had a $15K advance against his eventual take for over two months.
