Attn Consignors to Auction Houses

Snapolit1 · #1 09-09-2017, 09:58 AM

Agree, if it's disclosed in advance you can't bitch about it. Don't like it, keep walking.

Actually you can bitch about it, that's whats great about America.

You stay quiet and things never get changed.

And you can drop the Heritage or any House in particular if you want. Let's just say auction houses in general if they ask for payment within a short period, why then don't they pay out in a fairly short period?

I don't like it. So yes I will bitch about it. And I've consigned to at least 8-10 auction houses and most you learn how quick they pay after they in fact do so, and you've gone through the process, so now I know which ones I prefer and don't prefer.

and Lance you bitch about pretty much anything I post so hard to take you seriously, but keep bringing it, love that you love me so much.

There was a big lawsuit or brouhaha about subway sandwiches not being a full foot long.

"Subway Will Make Sure That Footlong Sub Is Actually a Foot Long Following Lawsuit
The chain is also coughing up $520,000 in legal fees"

I don't have a problem with HA rules as I read them before I consigned my collection. At 45 days I went and picked up my check. No worries.....

If you are talking about my check it is none of your business. The auction results are public and online. If I were an auction company you might fall into the "all customers are not good customers" category.

Paul,

That does seem like a long time, however AHs typically bring more money. Maybe the funding needs to go through several internal departments before release. Most who consign to these big AHs are aware of this delay. If someone needs money quicker there is eBay or the B/S/T section here.

I hear you though...sometimes it just feels good to vent. You should be able to do that here without being attacked.

All the best

Mark
