Anyone else have any trouble with the Crazy Uncle auction last night?

Yea my items were cheapies too but like you... it is the principle of it.

Just got a friendly phone call from them explaining to me what happened. They are trying to tell me that I placed a ceiling and there were other bidders on there and that is how I got pushed up. The problem with that is their site was showing me winning at $39 when I placed my Max. Maybe the site wasn't refreshed... I guess that is possible or another gent bid within those seconds that I was winning and placed a Max. Possible I guess.

Anywho they told me they didn't like my attitude and that my invoice was being canceled. A Woooo Hoooo 1 less auction catalog on my counter.

Sadly I screamed a few pleasantries at the young man that I can't write here and hung up on him. Oh well he pushed my button and I snapped so hopefully he has thick skin..

I do wish them luck in their future auctions as I actually love their logo!

Kinda neat

When you bid 65 did it then show you as high bidder?

Yes immediately..... and that is why I did it a 2nd time to make sure I saw what I saw and my 2nd ceiling was $88 and poof! straight to $88.

It's no biggie, all chump change stuff.

Hopefully they had a successful auction and will have many others.

So you were instantly outbid by a new bidder twice. Well, OK.
It's too bad Bob won't just clear it up, not sure why he can't explain here.

I don't like the fact they did that and won't be bidding. Too many other auctions around to deal with Tom Foolery. Speaking of which, whatever happened to Candiman Auctions??? LOL. They haven't had one for a couple years now.

Did they ever provide conditions for the cards in the 1959 set?

Not sure Jeff but there were 2 other lots I was interested in that didn't have pictures up until the final evening of bidding. They did however display pictures and I had time to place initial bids but didn't need any of the cards.

I was the person who made a post on Net54 asking about the condition of the 1959 set. I received a PM from Aaron saying he would work to get me a breakdown of the set. I did not receive a follow-up. In all honesty, I never went back to the website to see whether the condition for the set was added. I just tried to go the the website to check, but it seems to be down.

They did all along. "PSA, SGC, High."

You're the winner in this, who the F cares?

He cares because his big got pushed up and he was bidding against himself. Period.

Bob if you have a legitimate answer surely it's better to post it than to have people assume the above?

I meant he was the winner for them running the bid on it/him and THEN canceling his order and never having to do business with them again.

It's fascinating watching the reputation of this new auction house manifest here on the board and there is little to no communication by the auction house at all. It's like watching an accident happen in slow motion.

It's pretty hard to believe. The part about the items being from consignors and the AH not getting pictures uploaded until the last day was pretty shocking. Crazy that there is some more weird stuff happening.

Stuff trumps all. If next auction has nice stuff with great PSA cards, from the right years with razor sharp corners..well maybe not that last one..but you know what i mean
