I'd be looking for an attorney by now.

Or perhaps an owner of a chat room.

Are we a chat room? As much as I get beat up I thought it was a boxing ring, or an octagon? I will make a call or two but I have a feeling I might not find much out. I am sorry you are having this problem Gary.....You are certainly one of the good guys in the hobby.....

btw Gary- have you tried calling Doug?

[gnuche]

Leon, I have not talked to Doug or anyone else for that matter. The message on mastroauctions said they were hoping to have all checks mailed in May.
I was waiting(naively I guess) thinking I will get paid in May. Legendary said they are not responsible for consignment checks for the last mastro auction.
Why call Doug?

[Leon]

Hey Gary
Doug was the President of Mastro. He probably has connections. As for me making calls that is who I would call to find out. I have never spoken with Bill Mastro on the phone but I have spoken with Doug many times....I would start with him....shoot me an email if you want his number or you want to chat off line...

Sorry, I got mixed up on my Internet communication venues.

Although technically, thanks to this new forum platform, you could list a chat room among your assets.

Leon,

If you've got a suggestion box going... that is probably a feature we could do without.


I'm just saying...

Considering they were lightning fast to criticize my testimony in a deposition I gave in a lawsuit against them by Bill Daniels, it is amazing that speed has deserted them when it comes to paying consignors.

[egbeachley]

The consignors don't have the ultimate risk, the buyers do. If Mastro goes bankrupt, and has no money, the items go back to the consignor since the sale wasn't completed (a consignment becomes a sale only upon payment).

[baseballart]

I can't comment on any aspect of law in the United States, but in Canada, a consignor should register a personal property security interest for their consignment, and even then, the interest is generally not sufficient to compel the return of goods from a bona fide third party purchaser. This means that if a Canadian auction house goes under without paying its consignors, the consignors are out of luck
