Default auction turnaround

Posted By: DJ

Let's say you want to eat at Alain Ducasse's Restaurant in New York City. Top French Chef with a dinner for two costing more than a Sliding Monte Ward OJ in a PSA3 holder. You call up (ring, ring) and attempt to make reservations and they say in a snooty french way 'Ohh, I'm sorry, I can fit you in in October (it's February)'.

But if Kevin Spacey calls or Denzel Washington, I'm pretty sure they can get a reservation right away.

Scott purchased the piece, picked it up himself and put it up on eBay. The case is closed at that point. I'm sure there are many other issues you could complain about (I.E consignors bidding on their own items ---which is tough to prove) or even auction houses protecting their inventory with 'phantom' bids ---which no one could prove), but I don't think SCGaynor or Lelands did anything to harbour this much suspicion by selected parties on this fine Board.

My two cents...
