Huh?

Probably in reference to Heritage offering a payment plan for qualified purchases although pretty sure that has to be arranged BEFORE the auction ends. I've never used it but have seen it advertised on their site.

I think the other element is that sometimes (most of the time? all of the time?) the AH will hold onto the items until payment is completed, rather than delivering the item simply because someone has promised to pay in the future.

Makes me wonder of the rep called to "check on" the buyer, and really hyped up how "sad" the underbidder was to make the high bidder feel "good" (not back out)... and it backfired.


Whole story stinks to high heaven
