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

3 weeks exactly from PayPal payment package arrived
1 lot out of the 5 not in condition advertised
Charged $22 postage probably cost him 50

Yep, I remember paying that fee to bid, but I think it got credited if you won something? Can't really recall, but I don't think I won anything in their auction for years and they still sent me catalogs up until the end.

Before their began their highly-questionable AH, did they ever put up any kind of announcement about the company; directors, experience, capital etc. on the net or any other distribution channel?
If they have been around for awhile, they certainly flew under my radar.

Well if they're banning people I guess it means they are planning on continuing.

They must be connected with Collectors Universe as they have similar "banning" criteria and the same initials - CU!!!!

Putting on my tin foil hat here:

What if the "elite collectors" who "own" Crazy Uncle that Aaron is just the "President" of were in fact Joe Orlando and other higher ups at PSA/Collectors Universe?

You seemed very proud to have started the charge back in the first place, before receiving all your packages. Wasn't sure why you left out your response on your follow-up.

I have no relationship with Crazy Uncle Auctions. I have even posted negative things about them in the past, including this thread. Doesn't seem like something an owner would do.

I am a small time guy, with a very small collection, and sell most of my cards through COMC.
