I've alluded to this in prior threads and would now like a reality check from others, as my communications with the auction house owner have proved considerably less than satisfying.

For the first time ever I consigned a batch of 20 cards to an auction house. PWCC. Pursuant to VCP, from most recent sales the cards I consigned had a value of about $10,000. My total sales collected? $5,200.

The issue? My auctions closed at about 11 pm on Tuesday, Election Day. I think it was truly horrific business judgment to have an auction close that night. (No, I had no clue when I consigned them that the auction was closing that night.)

Am I being out of line in suggesting that this was an awful decision? Seriously, how many people were shopping for baseball cards as the Florida and Michigan results were dripping in. If you disagree and think I'm an ass, just say as much. Broadway theaters closed Tuesday night for a reason. I told them ahead of time this was a poor decision and unfortunately I was apparently vindicated.

Thoughts?
