Similar thing happened to me:

I saw Probstein123 offer an Abraham Lincoln signed military appointment on eBay, and it was GORGEOUS!!!! I emailed him and asked him what he would take for it, and he replied and we agreed so I bought it.

Now here's the rub: when I showed it to my buddy, he said that it had just sold at Premier Auctions a few weeks ago, Lot #1. Weird!! When I got the package, it was shipped to me FROM Premier Auctions!!

So, did the sale not complete, was it shill bid at Premier, etc??

Regardless of the situation, I am EXTREMELY happy to own it, and it is gorgeous!!

Thoughts???

Sorry wrong URL from Iconic. Still shady business. I would never purchase from them.

yep the funny thing this auction was the same night as huggins and vsa auction , a week ago i had more bids in this auction than the vsa and i think huggins , after looking at the bids i thought something was up , my prices are fair , some are high but i know what the stuff is work , i sell alot and know what level things are going to sell for , well when you have a auction like this and a item like a pucket psa/dna baseball gets to be well over what you can buy 20 on ebay for and then all the items start creeping up , then i see this topic on here , hummmm the mantle is still on ebay , well i spent about $26,000.00 total on thurs night and guess what didnt advance one bid and ended up spending zero with iconic , so not sure whats up but there is a auction every week too fishy when i can put a max bid on 450.00 in huggins and see that i won it at 150 , and not go on ebay a week later and see it for 2000.00

Odd thing is Alexander was "won" but still on eBay, I think a case could be made for shill bidding.

Interesting stuff. They have also put up a few items that keep showing up in successive auctions and I was wondering how they would be consigned so quickly when it supposedly just sold in the previous auction. Now, I am suspicious. This makes me lose confidence in their auctions.

I've seen the Mantle, the Freddie Mercury, the Jackie Robison MLK page and other items back on eBay as soon as the auction finished. I think the ID was autographs-for-sale for some of the items.
