Just really upset

[chaddurbin]

this might've been in reference of the recent ruth signature, and i agree with shelly's position.

i had a similar experience last month on my walter johnson signed piece with legendary. it came with a JSA loa, but after soliciting advices from the board i just did not feel comfortable paying for it, knowing full well that with the JSA letter i could turn around, sell it and recover all my money and maybe turn a profit. i didn't want to do that either knowing what i know, so now i'm banned from bidding with legendary.

Seems like they cut off their nose to spite their face.
You can buy from me anytime Chad,,, and (advertisement coming) I will have a nice new price list coming out in a few days with some very nice autographs.

Just remember when Richard wants to sell you an autograph he checks your bank account first.

[chaddurbin]

they stuck to their policy, and felt that was the necessary step. i'm not a big whale by any mean but have bidded and won off and on with them for 10 years. no big deal there are ways around it i just didn't want to pass that johnson on. it'll get resold again and the next guy w/o this forum's access will be happy with the sig and the JSA cert.

[JimStinson]

Auctions ??? there is a new one every week and when one fails there are six to take their place , so no big deal......

Think about THIS if you WIN something at auction it means you were the ONE guy in the WHOLE WORLD that was willing to PAY MORE than anyone on the PLANET for that item. Is that a good deal ?
So are you losing alot being banned from that "privilage"?????

Last time I checked I was 5'-11", shorty??
And several of the members here have proudly been banned by auction houses, and we wear that badge proudly.

[shelly]

If you are five 11 that must have been a leg transplant not knee. I think as we get older we shrink but Rich your ego gets bigger and bigger so I truly thing you must be at least as tall as David.
David it is all in fun.

Wow, sorry to hear about that Chad. But I'm glad that you had the piece of mind in not getting the auto because of the expertise of the members here. It's their loss, because they lost a great potential buyer.

Sorry that happened. I have to admit, I'm careful about how I talk about auction houses that I purchase regularly from. If I don't like something they've done, I first try to resolve it with them. If that gets me nowhere, I still try to be careful about how I bitch about the transaction publicly.

But I very much admire the fact that you did not blow it off, knowing that you could get your money back by keeping your opinion to yourself. I have a similar situation with a group of PSA/DNA autographs, and I decided to not keep pushing the auction house - they made it very clear that they didn't give a shit about my opinion, and that's something I will not forget. But when I re-sell the items, I will be honest about my opinion, and the bidders can buy PSA's opinion if they choose.
