One question is why would the buyer specifically ask for it to be shipped to arrive before Christmas, then (apparently) not verify it until he checked this thread in January?
He must have really wanted his winnings badly...

Bob, let's not allow logic to get in the way of wild speculation.

fairly obvious why-
The buyer wanted to be sure this large group of winnings had arrived safely at his home before he went out of town for the holidays, so he requested the faster shipment. Which didn't mean he was wild to look at them right away, presumably because he was busy with holiday stuff. Completely understandable.
In the same way, I have asked to have packages held and not shipped until I returned from out of town. |

Like they say, "opinions are like ass-holes, everybody's got one...." My opinion - OP probably jumped the gun on the post. LOTG showed a lot of class in addressing this. OP was understanding enough not to take the money and cards. IMO, that would have been a total dick move if the OP accepted the freebie. In the end, OP and LOTG are good to go - a happy ending (of sorts).

and again, for you to think it would of been a bad move to accept the freebie (free $520) again shows that you are surprised that amount would of been offered...which is what i said.. Also noted the freebie (whether additional money or keep the cards) was only offered AFTER this thread was started and cards found...not before |

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea if when your package of auction winnings arrives, you open the box in a timely manner to make sure it was packed correctly. That would help you get a resolution if a mistake was made. Yes, we are all busy, but opening a box to check it for accuracy is probably a 5-10 minute project. It's time well spent.
Don't call an auction house a month after you received your winnings to say a mistake in shipping was made. If I'm the auctioneer (and I was for many years), that just sucks. |

Y'all need to come to a live auction and walk out the door with your winnings same day.
