Legendary Winnings
Looking at my account looks like I won 5 of the 9 lots I was bidding on!
|
#4
|
||||
|
||||
I threw in a few auto bids after several hours of frustration and none held up.
|
#5
|
||||
|
||||
0 for 22. That's alright though.

Though not baseball, I did win two lots of large cents which I collect.
But I do want to make a point: I left substantial ceiling bids on both lots and won them for multiple increments below my max. Given what's gone on in the past, I felt it was important to share that with the board. And it is most appreciated. |

|

Given what's gone on in the past, were you not at all worried making those ceiling bids Barry?
Was it a matter of just not wanting to stay up late? |
#9

|

I think with Barry it was definitely a matter of not wanting to stay up late.
|
#10

|||
|
|||
Dave got it. The way I see it, unless you are willing to stay up until the bitter end you might as well leave a ceiling. And I decided I wanted to trust them, in some perverse way.

I got 15 T205's but posting the pics would be... effort.
You guys don't want to see them anyways. |

I won the Wagner Celluloid Schedule. http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...px?lotid=96909

|

Greg, I have a vague memory of a slabbed version of that schedule being on REA a couple years back -- and going for much higher than what you got yours at. Am I right?

kehfee,
Did you when the tinker, evers, and chance? That seemed like a good price. Congrats on 15 cards. George |

Jeff,
As always you are correct. It was in 2007 that REA sold a strong SGC 60 for for 7K, not sure if that is with the juice or not. Greg |

This is the only thing I won, there were definitely some deals to be had in the auction.

Nice pick up and only the 2nd or 3rd small block Gimbels I have ever seen....

Did you see the shipping?
Won one lot, a $200 group of "Baseball Leader" pins. The 20% juice is high plus I get hit with another $21.60 in IL sales tax, and they want $24.81 to ship 8 dime sized pins about 30 minutes North of their offices. This should cost $6 at the most. If they refuse to reduce shipping, I will end up paying $286.41 for an item won with a $200 bid. I realize it is not much money, but paying an extra 43% seems a little much. Will have to re-think bidding with them.
|
#23
|
||||
|
||||
Well, they are charging me $37.66 to ship 2 pins about the size of a silver dollar each. The final bid was only $350, so it seems a little silly. Imagine trying to charge that on ebay (or anywhere else). I wonder if they still have some leftover tape?

I got charged $42.00 for two small lots with a value of $2000. I could ship it insured for half that amount. Maybe they will consider reducing some of those fees.

Hi Barry,
I guess I got a deal.... Two slabbed cards worth $3200 for 41.25... How nice.... Be well Brian |
#27

My shipping is $198.

Honestly, Jeff, I'm surprised you're not required to drive to Illinois to pick up the cards yourself.
|
#29

|

$56.51 for one slabbed card valued at 3900. It had better be at my door first thing Monday.
|
#30
|
||||
|
||||
In another, recent auction, (not Mastro or their spawn) I won a lot for just under $30,000. The juice added 10%. I was charged $30 for shipping and the package arrived by Fedex, one day after my check hit his hands.
And some people don't like that auctioneer. Go figure. There's no pleasing everyone. |

Legendary Winnings
Mine was 58.94 Funny it looks to me the the shipping and insurance was also charged on the "Juice" price not what the lot was won for. I guess they want to make sure the 20% fee is covered by the insurance!! Sweet deal! Leon you sholud have never made it this easy with the smilies!! Gotta loveem!!
|
#32
|

|

So tell me you guys are now out of money for REA
|
#33

I was taken aback
at $61.50 in shipping costs for a single baseball card! One card!!!

Do you mind saying what the selling price was? I can see a card that sells for $15,000 costing more to ship than one that sold for $1,000. Don't get me wrong, Mastro/Lengendary long has been known for absurd shipping charges, I'm just not sure it's fair to take into account only what's being shipped and not the package's value, too. |

Quote:
And I actually somewhat disagree with your assessment. With Registered Mail, you can insure for $15,000 for $30.10. For $5,000 under $20- m |
#36

Rob, the shipping charge is so high I could have bought a plane ticket for the two cards and gotten them a free meal and drinks on the flight to NYC.

Well, I know that Mastro/Legendary says on its invoice that it doesn't ship using the USPS, so the registered-mail option is a moot point. Whether the decision to not use the USPS is a wise one is another discussion. I don't know enough about the costs of shipping via UPS and FedEx to comment on how the value of a parcel affects the shipping charge.
And to be clear, I'm not defending Mastro's/Lengendary's shipping charges. I'll leave that for others to do. I'm just saying that it seems logical that the value of a package should be figured into the equation. |

I won the Dave Winfield autographed game-used bat. $38.26 to ship on a $360 final bid (w/juice).

You guys are just thinking of this as "Shipping." But it's really "Shipping & HANDLING!"
It that damn "HANDLING" that runs up the cost. |

The Cubs photo is great, some might call it a work of art.

|

I think the following is a pretty fair comparison regarding shipping and handling charges.
Group of eight oversized, graded cards -- total bid amount $1,700. Legendary shipping charge: $35.04 Group of seven oversized, graded cards, plus six standard-sized graded cards -- total bid amount $11,800. REA shipping charge: $25 The distance from Legendary's offices to my house is about 200 miles less than from REA's offices to my house. |
#44
|

|

I received an amended shipping total from Legendary today; my shipping cost was reduced from $198 to $35.

Jeff - nice! How'd you swing that? I emailed two days ago about the shipping costs and haven't heard anything.
|
#46

|

Matt, it's not what you know, it's who you know.
Seriously, just contact Legendary (as you did) and I think any bizarre shipping costs are being fixed as per the email I received from Doug.

I emailed them within moments of getting the invoice and they never replied nor amended mine, so I paid it. Guess I need to start posting negative comments about them on the board.

BS
That is BS. My shipping was $39.59. How is it possible that their invoice says one thing you can email them and get your shipping cut? Why not just email out the correct total the first time.
I already paid my invoice-- the day it was emailed to me. Super service Legendary. Super.

Another steller customer service move. I didn't win anything with them this go around. I know with REA this year I had a bill for $2150 and the shipping was a flat $20, shipping was also a flat $20 last year when my bill was about $3k.
|

Dave - it's not fair to compare. REA only takes a 17.5% BP so they can absorb more of the shipping cost. Mastro takes 20% so they have less...oh wait...
