which auction house have the sliding BP scale?

[forazzurri2axz]

whether they advertise or not, they can also be unreasonable....spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-20,000 on one of their auctions about 5 yrs ago---at the same time they had a t206 common on ebay I won--was about $45.00--I had the same card being shipped and when I asked them if I could not take the card even though it was my mistake, I was told no , was lectured on how when one makes a mistake they "suffer the consequences" or some words close to that, and then proceeded to tell me that if it were their mistake they would , but it was MY mistake (which I admitted from the get- go). That's why not .01 of my approx $500,000 in purchases since has gone to Huggins and Scott. And I'm from Silver Spring MD too!!

bill--that does sound a little harsh if the story is true, but maybe their auctions and ebay are 2 separate divisions...and they outsource the ebay side to a bunch of heartless, cold, compassionless robots.

I have no reason to lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes sellers don't take the long term perspective. Many years ago I bought a PSA 8 card from a dealer who is now a leading auction house and it had a little crease in the back that was readily visible. He nonetheless refused to take it back and forced me to deal with PSA. No more business since that time.

Peter,

That is not possible. He has never sold a card with a crease.

He didn't even deny it, just said it was not his problem or words to that effect. There is another dealer/auction house I won't deal with. Back before the internet, I called him about a card that happened not to be that valuable. He answered the phone, I said I had questions about a card, he asked which one, and when I told him he handed me off to his assistant. And that was the end of that. Nemo me impune lacessit.

Your Net54 phrase of the day, from Wikipedia:
"Nemo me impune lacessit is the Latin motto of the Order of the Thistle and of three Scottish regiments of the British Army....It is also alternatively translated into English as No one can harm me unpunished."

Hear it pronounced.

Did you tell him you were an attorney?
