Well I thought twice about it and left a $900+ ceiling with Golden last night and I was winning the lot at about $300. I woke up and I won the lot for what it was when I went to bed.

WOW! Kudos to an honest auction! Thanks Golden!

That's all fine an dandy.. great to hear!
HOWEVER.. why mention Memory Lane at all here?
Really??? HAHA From what I understand, Memory Lane has honest bid where they cannot even see ceiling bids within their software.
I could name a couple auction houses that I would be worried about(no honest bid) and Memory lane is not one of them. Glad you feel Goldin Auction is one of the good guys by your one purchase. I also have purchased one item from them and feel good about it.

Not that I give 2 shits about this discussion...but it's GOLDIN auctions.

I mentioned memory lane because I have been smoked there. EVERY ceiling I ever left was reached! Never again.

They had a nice T205 Moran Stray Line recently sell and I was winning at about $500 and would have paid about $1200 for it. Card sold for a little over $600. I refuse to leave them another ceiling bid ever.

How many is every? It has NEVER happened to me. AND like I said, they have honest bid. Sounds like you were really unlucky.. It also sounds like this thread(started)was more about a prrsonal vendetta rather than a positive experience with goldin. At least that is how it appears and it is sad.

You can't really extrapolate from a couple of ceiling bids that were or weren't maxed to say the auction house isn't or is honest.

No, but the angst generated on both sides of the issue makes for great reading.

Ben,
I'm not sure how you would know whether I have ever done business with either auction house mentioned. In any event, I assume I am welcome to read and comment on threads as I chose.

Ok possibly unlucky since I can't see the records, and no, thread wasn't started for a personal vendetta, I wouldn't be revisiting that point if someone didn't ask why I mentioned it. I stopped leaving ceiling bids with Memory Lane years ago.

Thread was started for + experience with Goldin Auctions and I mentioned my most negative experience to amplify it.

Glad to know you know what I am thinking cause hell I don't sometimes.

This board has really changed since I was a regular here.

On a great note!!!!!!! Thank you once again Goldin Auctions for completing my D304 set with all 5 variations!!!!!!!!!! That Herzog black bar was the last one I needed!


Good Bye everyone, seems like no matter what you post here you get attacked by someone, nice board.

Nice to see you posting again, Dan.

I'm confused. If a bidder puts a value on item 'B' and says I will pay up to (X) amount for item 'B', why in the world complain about paying the price that YOU set?
Perhaps if one bidder sees an item worth (X) amount of dollars would it not be reasonable for another bidder to value the same item for a similar price?

I think the concern is when the crime part comes into the picture.
