Which auction house emails you the most?

It must be my novice language, cause I've been ignored by others too.

There's a nice off ramp at the intersection of the 405 and 101, so I'll try to sell my cards there.

No, my experience with Bill is that he responds to e-mails quickly. When he barred me from his auctions but continued to send me e-mails about them, I e-mailed to ask that he stop. He responded the same day. He never did provide a reason for the whole banning thing, so the communication process was a little lacking there. I just assumed he didn't like some posts on the board and figured that if he didn't let me bid in his auctions, the criticism would stop.

I'm still trying to understand that logic.

If you're thinking of consigning any Lajoie cards, I'd be willing to make an offer on them, considering Bill has eliminated one of the more aggressive bidders on them from his auctions.

Oh brother, this is beyond my understanding...but I understand.

I mentioned this board. Only to say that I saw he was the choice, out of many others, by someone who did their homework.

Does everything in this country have to have some sort of political tint or taint on it.

So a novice walks into a bar........,

Will keep you in mind on the LaJoies.

Cutting away all the fat, I would think any auction house would at least extend a courtesy of a reply to a potentional consignor, even if the items in question weren't of interest to the auction house. My guess is your e-mail to Goodwin & Co. got lost. If you want to do business with them, I'd suggest you e-mail them again or call them.

I've had nearly 3000 transactions on Ebay the last 10 years.

All St. Louis Cardinals related.

Every e-mail they send me under:

"other items you might like, based on your recent purchases"

includes an autographed Wayne Gretzky hockey puck

"No soup for you!"

Marketing genius can only take you so far, let's not forget that.

I always assumed it had more to do with your literary style not matching with theirs. You know, sparse use of adjectives, poor verb conjugation, inadequate sentence structure, etc., etc., etc.

SCP, Heritage and Memory Lane. I hate countdowns with a passion! Four hours left! Two hours left! One hour left! And honestly, I don't care if you are going to be in Seattle, WA for a buy show. E-mail in general annoys me (forwards, especially) so this grinds my gears (Family Guy, anyone?).

Jim- you know I hold you to a very high standard!

[Jim VB]

I know you do. I'm just not sure why.
