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.

Nah I only have done that once ever, when Steve Timmons sold me four trimmed cards and was refusing to take them back after PSA had rejected them. I politely told him we could either do this the easy way or the hard way and that I didn't really much care which.

Well don't keep us in suspense--what happened?

Bill,
Huggins and Scott sells nothing on ebay.
Their Sister company House of cards does though
Ive purchased from both and never had a problem but i know that i can't pay for both a the same time. Im not fully aware of your situation but i know that they are two different companies.

Hmm, perhaps it's time to change my personal motto from Omnis me impune lacessit.

let's see--- Same phone #, same address, same ownership, and I bought through their Ebay NAME--and was told (that's the nice way of saying 'lectured') by the owner how my mistake was my mistake, not theirs blah blah blah

You say you're not fully aware of my situation --it's noted in my post--and it was over a stinking $45.00--as I pointed out ,it was the principle, not the 45.00

I am not saying that they are dishonest --I just offered an opinion that it's a lousy business practice --and perhaps a tad rude--that when a customer drops $10-$20,000 (I don't recall the exact amount) it shouldn't be a big deal to take back a 45.00 card bought by mistake.

over and out

Just to be clear... you're mad at them because they wouldn't fix a small ($45) mistake that you made?

If you can spend $10,000-$20,000 in an auction (and I believe you) then why even be bothered asking them to fix your mistake?

Seems like you're blowing it up to be a big thing, and in the process, missed the opportunity to buy in subsequent auctions.

Sorry, but I see this one as being on you, not H&S.
