Now by no means am I telling anyone not to do business with Crazy Uncles and/or Aaron. Everyone here is a free thinking adult who can make their own decisions. So before Aaron accuses me of hurting his business, I repeat, I am NOT telling anyone to stop doing business with Crazy Uncles and/or Aaron.....this is just an FYI for everyone.

In answer to your other question, since this is a civil matter, the police would doubtfully do any help here (no disrespect to the police). As far as handling this matter through the proper legal and court channels, trust me it is being handled.

When you're talking theft of $300,000 in goods that's a criminal matter.

I definitely do not want to accuse anyone of theft (just yet)......for now I will assume he has yet to make all deliveries to me.

Let's hope he is reading this and delivers the rest of your items to your work so they are not left out in the elements.

I still can't get over the idea of giving over $700K worth of collectibles to a start up who called themselves Crazy Uncle Auctions. I really truly hope you get all you stuff back and this works out for you in the end. I can't image being in your shoes right now.

I'm curious if you know who the owners of this company are?

Aaron Rothchild is the president, but apparently not an owner. There is no indication of the owners' names.

The description is as follows:
Crazy Uncle Auctions is a company owned by collectors for collectors. Founded by a small group of elite collectors, Crazy Uncle’s owners have been collecting, trading and selling for over half-a-century. They have been involved in some of the most significant auctions in sports collectibles history and use their vast hobby knowledge to further enhance the experience for collectors who use the Crazy Uncle platform.

So I'm wondering if these "elite collectors" are known to anyone on this board? An awful lot of silence out there from Aaron and the "elite" owners of this company. Not one of them has the balls to step up and own this? It's not like they'll be harmed in this hobby in any way. If Mastro or Allen opened an auction house back up we know they'd have no problem finding consignors and bidders.

Truer words have not been spoken. I remember when I first got into the "game" some 20 years ago. I remember calling Mastro and enquiring about bidding with them. They told me I needed to pay a yearly fee to join them. Something like $25. (it might have been more - my memory is hazy) They were the only auction house that told me I needed to pay a yearly fee to bid with them. I never paid it. Looking back on things 20 years alter, were they just joshing with me, or did others have to pay "dues" to bid with Mastro??

Wasn't so much as dues, probably the $$$ were to help offset the price of the many auction catalogs sent throughout the year.

I've said it before.....I welcome Aaron's comments and/or rebuttal. Look, some of you know me, we've done some business as either buyers or sellers, but most of you don't. I could be full of crap (which I'm not!!!). Let's hear both sides.....unfortunately Aaron knows I can back up everything I am saying and any excuse he shows (other than sheer incompetence) I can dispute and prove otherwise !!! I have everything detailed !!!

Think of it like this...….two cars are in an accident...…..one car flees the scene and hides out......you tend to believe the one that stuck around, don't you? I mean there's a reason the other car ran off.
