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

[moeson]

At the suggestion of a fellow member, I messaged Aaron here last night. So far it's been "crickets".

the proprietors of Crazy Uncle Auctions never heard the expression:

You only have 1 chance to make a good first impression.

I hope this is just poor business practice, lack of preparation and dismal customer service and nothing worse.

it's hilarious I quote various sayings and idioms at work all the time...to mostly youngsters...and they usually scoff at them.

A patient of mine who is a teacher told me the other day that the kids today expect "do overs" for practically everything so they do a half assed job the first time figuring they will have a chance to "do it again!"

But it's so many boomers in this hobby who repeatedly have shown the willingness to turn a blind eye toward the questionable and downright fraudulent people and businesses. The "do over" business plan works very well in this hobby, because so many people aren't willing to call a spade a spade, which allows the questionable businesses to keep rolling right along.

Someone won, and presumably paid $39K for a 52 Mantle in that auction!

My lot was less than $200. Though I really wanted the cards (51 Bluebacks), it's time to call the credit card company.

the "boomers" are heavily invested and don't want to lose their eggs!

I called as well and left an SMS message since the voicemail was full. I also sent an email with no response as of yet. - jason schroeder

Aaron just sent me a message saying I should have tracking by tomorrow.

Well I have tracking, after finally getting a response message here from Aaron yesterday, but no package at the post office as of yet.

Strike that. We have acceptance at the P.O.!

[CobbSpikedMe]

Thing is, you shouldn't have to ask for your winnings to be shipped through a message board. You should be contacted by the auction house if there is a problem with shipping your item, not the other way around.

[moeson]

The cards finally arrived w/o any further issue.

[BosseFieldBoy]

I paid via credit card on Nov. 21. I've never even received a shipping confirmation. I've emailed 3 times with no response. I called today and their mailbox is full, which is no surprise based on the other posts.

Has anyone had any lucky speaking to anyone from Crazy Uncle?

Thanks,
Mike Henry

I heard they were going to change the name to Lazy Uncle, but they never got around to it.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Candiman is looking good by comparison.

[RedsFan1941]

maybe aaron is traveling again. If the queen mary doesn’t dock soon perhaps he can send a cable to explain the delay.

Has it been established they aren't working together? I can't say I'm sorry I missed this auction.

Has Aaron even posted since Dan McKee questioned whether he was run up and Bob declined to explain what happened?

In their defense, that would require a lot of scratching out the 'CR' and writing a "L' on their letterhead. Which will take a LOT of ink.

Oh great now you told them how to do it. I was gonna see if they'd eventually figure it out on their own.
