USED to be REA's big fan ---not any more

[glynparson]

If you refeunded the buyers of your cards more than they paid for them you have a gripe. If not you are just a hypocrite and a jerk. just my opinion.

to the above comment------of course, if glynparson got different cards than he paid for, we all know that he would graciously accept it , keep his mouth shut, and figure that it's OK to be offered less than the value he paid several times before reaching an agreement.

[whycough]

Big reputation in the hobby: slipshod handling of what was offered for auction. The rest of it is secondary.

[glynparson]

Did you offer those that purchased the wrong graded cards from you more money than they paid? Since you are not answering I have to assume you did not so you therefore must be a jerk. I never said I would take it, learn how to read buddy. I was just pointing out you did the same thing as REA but somehow you think it's ok that you made a mistake but it is not ok for Rob and his crew? Sounds like a hypocrite so I guess you must be both a hypocrite and a jerk like I stated before.

REA made it right,with the buyer. The buyer ACCEPTED the offer that REA gave him. BUYER should have NO complaints. REA is TOP NOTCH !!!!!!

that several Net 54 members, among those Glynparson, Chris Agard and a few others buy a T206 set in an REA auction

The set contains a Plank PSA 6, recently sold for $188,000

They pay $350,000 for the set calculating the above value for the Plank, and
$162,000 for the rest of the set, totaling $350,000 which is $410,000 INCLUDING buyer's premium

Y'all get the shipment with the Plank being a PSA 5,and call REA

You are told that the consignor made a mistake and sold the PSA 6, replaced it with a PSA 5 but didn't change the registry and that the auction was mistaken as well. You then get told that the SMR value of the set is $485,000 and since you paid 85% of that you would get 85% of the SMR value of the Plank which is ONLY $135,000 in PSA 6, SMR being a lousy guide at best

THAT MEANS YOU GET OFFERED $114,750 FOR WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLANK PSA 6 WHICH YOU VALUED AT RECENT SALES OF$188,000

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME--I WAS OFFERED 85% of SMR and other ridiculous insulting offers even before the discussion of taking the set back ever happened.

So I guess you/y'all would have said , "Fine, we;'ll take the $114,000 and return the Plank PSA 5. If you say that you would have accepted that, you're a liar.(s)

All I expected was to be treated fairly from the beginning--not having to haggle over $300.00 which they did for days on end after I had spent over $60,000 on different auction lots...and for those who pointed out that most of that goes to the consignor, almost $10,000 went to REA--

First of all if you were not happy with what you said would FIX the problem don't OFFER !!! What more can a guy do but offer you a FULL refund. Sorry my fault REA was supposed to give you the cards for free !!!!! He did exactly what you asked of him,and you still have the NERVE to BIT-- !!!! I would understand if you didn't agree to a settlement. Only thing i can think of is you wish you would have asked for more. It's better to be needy than greedy
