No, stealing from bidders, shill bidding, using fake accounts to bid, etc. caused his problems.

Woops -- and Dougie's problems too. (Hi Doug!)

I paid via e-check the day I received the invoice (Sunday after the auction ended), and was happy to see they shipped it last Thursday via Fedex ground. It got to me in Boston yesterday.

So it seems like there is little consistency in their shipping policies, since I have had experiences very similar to Jeff's in the past.

They should call that rule "permission to screw the bidder" but since I am barred from their auctions for being quoted in an internet story, by Pete Nash, that exposed them, I guess I do not have to worry about being screwed.

If Bill Mastro had a rule like this, he might not be headed to jail.

Bill Mastro committed all sorts of fraud beyond anything contained in a rule like this. Luckily Bill has found God and with his trusty priest beside him will hope to avoid prison. Unfortunately for him, a federal judge feels that his crimes do not warrant a maximum 30 month sentence.

Should anyone wish to write victim letters to the judge to be read in conjunction with Mastro's sentencing, please feel free to contact me. I assure you Bill will have a zillion letters attesting to the opposite: that he is generous, charitable, has a calm temperament, saves the whales, washes the feet of lepers, etc. You may want the judge, instead, to learn the truth about what this man is (Doug too, after he is convicted).

Woof.

LOL

Somehow I don't think that Bill or Doug agree with that sentiment.

Didn't it used to be that Heritage had terms where the house could bid on the card up to one week before the auction closed, but not past then?

At any rate, they sure are getting a lot of consignments... their spring auction was loaded. I like Heritage, I really do, but the terms just make me wonder...

[calvindog]

Had a wonderful conversation with Heritage customer service just now; despite receiving my wire 10 days ago, Heritage has not yet shipped out my package. However, all packages are shipped out in 7-10 business days. The nice Heritage rep also told me there is no such way to expedite shipping of orders.

Here's a tip to Chris Ivy: spend less time with lawyers trying to legally shill bid your customers and more time on customer service.

Makes perfect sense to me as a potential consignor. Where would you rather have a good item selling: a place like REA that swears on a stack of bibles that it does not ever bid for itself or on anything, or a place like Heritage where they tell you right up front they're gonna run up the sales if there is something falling through the cracks? I'd opt for the run-up-the-sales approach every time as a consignor just in case. Not saying I like their policy, just that I can see it as a selling point to a consignor.
