Wasn’t intended as a shot.

I am surprised that you’re willing to publicly admit to (and even highlight) imperfections in your business model. But that’s primarily because all of us would rather downplay those, and focus on the strengths rather than admit to the weaknesses.

But certainly credit you for your refreshing candor.

As I stated on an another thread, Scott is all class.

And, I was the lucky buyer of that $18k rose co post card. I think that sale was a record (for any grade) and I have since sold that post card, I think at auction

When you do stand-up a joke will absolutely kill one show and flop the next. The difference is the audience. Same with auctions. If the right eyeballs aren't on the auction, for whatever reason, the auction will flop.

Sorry, sometimes I'm over-sensitive.

My feeling is, I might make more in the short run grabbing every dollar, but consignors and buyers both will remember me longer and more fondly if I'm straight with them. I feel that IS my strength (among others lol)

I've passed consignors to other companies when I felt we wouldn't do the consignment justice. A number of those consignors later came back to me with amazing items because I took their best interests to heart.
