I have never consigned with Lee but I am happy to vouch for him - he is as good as they come in the hobby and I have heard/read repeatedly about how people are always very pleased with his customer service as both a buyer and a seller.

I have consigned to and bought from Lee and have been happy in both regards.

Congrats to Lee on a possible new consigner!

Fast payouts are huge to me. The knock on Probstein is the lack of detail....no back scans, no auction writeups....too basic to me. The knock on PWCC is it takes sooooo long to get payouts. Maybe others have gotten them faster. I haven't. I have heard a lot of good things about Lee. Are they any negatives?

It's been a couple of years, but I think they were pretty prompt.

He was my first Consigning experience and I have used him a few times since (as well as a few others). I believe he had the quickest payout (2weeks) but this is dependent on buyers.

There was one time the payment didn't come quickly, but I too hadn't realized and forgot about it. Then when I did notice he quickly got back to me and noticed that even though he had marked it paid it never left his bank account and got it right out to me.

His communication is top notch. There was once another auction that I didn't get any responses back so I contacted him and had it all resolved and shipped before ever getting a response from the original auction I reached out to.
