Jorge,

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt in my post above - if you read it carefully along with the post immediately prior to mine, you should see that. However, I have to agree with Chad that your attempt to sully Ryan's conduct is unwarranted and completely off base.

1. You comment about "Ryan's Team". First, I believe he owns all of his own cards (though he can certainly speak for himself on this poing) - even if he didnt, you are comparing apples to oranges. His "team", if one existed, didnt breach any agreement. In fact, it would be his team that is out of pocket because sergio has not paid for the cards in full. In other words, if he has a team and they were named, their names would not be dragged through the mud, to the contrary, they would be additional "victims" in this situation. Oh, and Ryan (as well as any team member) is an "innocent party" in this matter (and that wont change until we at least we hear Sergio's explanation for not paying).

2. You comment that Ryan is "technically not owed anything by Mr Delgado since he is covering Ryan's debt with the auction house." Incorrect - ultimately, Ryan is responsible for that debt if Sergio does not pay it. Its interesting that Sergio has paid his own debt to the auction house but not Ryan's - why is that?

3. After noting that Ryan's reputation with the auction house shouldnt be tarnished as he alleges, you then state:

"Fact You are accusing Sergio of not living up to a contract. Question Did you live up to the contract with the auction when you didn't pay them on time? Opinion It was not Sergios responsibility to pay your auction house debt, it was yours."

So which is it - was it Sergio's responsibility to pay the debt(as he agreed) or was it Ryan's responsibility? Of course if it was Ryan's, then his reputation with the auction house has been tarnished. And the reason its been tarnished? All together now - BECAUSE SERGIO HAS NOT PAID HIM WHAT IS OWED!

Your defense of Mr. Delgado is becoming a case study of contradictions. How about you try to get your boss to pay what is owed, the whole mess gets cleaned up, and I dont have to waste my time defending myself for defending you.

Finally, as a matter of full disclosure, I dont know Ryan personally, I am not "on his team", I dont own any of the cards unlawfully retained by Sergio, and I dont otherwise have any dog in this fight.
