I will not participate in Legendary Auctions

Great thread. It's gratifying to see our fellow collectors taking a stand for what's right and doing their best to hold these companies accountable.

Lord knows there is zero leadership, or even any information, on this issue coming from other sources (Sports Collectors Digest).

Add my name to the list of collectors who will NEVER - EVER do business with Legendary/Mastro, or whatever they decide to change their name to next week. And believe me, I spend money in this hobby.

I'm pretty much down to two auction companies that I trust: Robert Edwards and Hunt Auctions.

I too will skip the Legendary auctions...in the past, I have bid and rarely won. I will not bid or consign to Legendary until all consignors are paid. I will also not bid or consign until I hear that the charges of shill bidding have been dropped and their issues with the FBI are cleared up.

Why not bid in Legendary/Mastro auctions? Apparently you can get what you bid on and never have to pay. Seems like a sweet deal to me!

This is primarily because I don't spend enough to warrant shopping this way, but after reading all the things I have here over the past 3 years, I don't think I would do business with anyone except REA and Huggins & Scott if I had the money to spend.

truly an unfortunate situation, the way so many of these businesses have developed reputation problems...

I don't plan on bidding on the next auction, lets just say I haven't bought much lately.

It is interesting to me that this thread combines support for those who haven't gotten paid and a boycott of the auction house that owes them money.

Isn't their survival the only way these people might get paid?
