Scott you and I dont always see eye to eye but I am 1000% with you IF the cards were consigned. These are 2 different scenarios that are being debated. If its just someone selling items, even if they have 10k items up f/s, its a hobby, extra income, whatever...hard to expect quick answers. But if this item was consigned, it is now this guys business to sell for his client...its his resposnibitlity to get the best dollar and that means being available at auction end and to answer questions posted with 9 hours before the end...I bet Scott checked his email 100 times in those 9 hours...I would have. I can see less time being rough, but 9 hours should be adequate as its his freakin job. I would never consign any cards to them, those last second bidders can make you a lot of money. I guess Im a prick about stuff like this, but it seems like 2 different scenarios to me.
