Great guys in business together -- what could go wrong?

[Matt]

Anyone posting in a thread about auction houses should disclose if they have any current or forthcoming consignments for the sake of transparency.

Maybe he is selling to finance the purchase of a Wagner?

My guess is that Jeff doesn't have consignments with Mastro or er...Legendary. Otherwise I agree.....

Matt, if you go back to look at the thread that I quoted from you'll find that I thought it fairly obvious that money was going back and forth between the poster and Doug. I've found in my experience that when one great guy describes another guy as a great guy, usually money is the grease that oils that relationship, with 'grease' being the operative word in this case.

I agree - just thought I'd try and add some value to the thread

I will be the one who says for many, what and who is this thread all about?? The only thing I can figure out is that its more sarcasm toward Doug Allen, which I don't really disagree with, but what is this post about?

I had figured it out and just got back here, after reading it, to find your response.

He must have another party and maybe needs to purchase a new nicer graded wagner so is using the photos to finance, or just a profitable flip

[Sean_C]

The question is; who is using who more?

[daviddbreadman]

All I know is that if I were keeping a likely to fail company in business I'd want an equity stake, but that is just me because I am greedy.

[Reginald Marsh]

Jeff...you are hilarious. I do agree 100% with your thoughts in regards to the photo situation. No one in their right mind would consign with them right now.

It's insider hobby references like Jeff's that probably keep a lot of folks from posting on the board, I reckon.

Snarky comments like that belong in their own thread!

At least I didn't suggest he research it himself!

Snarky

You obviously didn't attend the Dorskind School of English, Jim.

Or maybe you did. (More smarkeyness.)
