Turtleguy Satisfied

[turtleguy64]

If you read the posts at this website,Doug Allen has been placed in the same category as a cross between Attila The Hun and Ghengis Khan.I still harbor faith in him regardless and he has kept his promises to me.I talked about this being a nation of 2nd chances ( ala Vick,etc.) and I am about to give Legendary a chance to sell my stuff in the future on consignment.Hit me with the negatives and accuse me of naievet'e but I'm giving them a chance to dump the albatross which is Mastronet from around their necks.

Incredible. Were you even paid yet from your previous consignment? Why not try a go with one of the other houses and see which way you like it better?

Yes Matt,

That's what I was going to ask. If not, seems like a giant leap of faith. But hey, they are turtleguys items to do with as he pleases.

Fool me once, shame on you....fool me twice...............................

Seems to me the President of Mastronet was ... I mean still is ... Doug Allen. Can one be one's own albatross?

EDIT TO ADD Maybe they can pay him with the proceeds from the new consignment?

My presumption is that he was paid because he said on 8/23 that he had spoken to Doug a week earlier and Doug had promised to get him paid. That he now says Doug came through on his promises I assume means he got paid. Nonetheless, it shouldn't be a consignor's responsibility to chase after the auction house with multiple phone calls, and public posts just in order to get money legally owed to hi for 6 months. If I had to go through that I'd consider other options for future dealings.

Matt you are overlooking the "great guy" factor clearly. Being a great guy engenders loyalty.

I spoke to someone else last week who told me he was sending some stuff in to Mastro for their next offering as well. I just don't get it at this point. If you're aware of all the issues, why would you send your stuff there right now? There are so many other options.

Except that Doug is Mastronet.

Turtle, is your name Frank DiRoberto by any chance?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Lichtman -- slacker.

[turtleguy64]

Frank DiRoberto? Faaagettaboutit!

[Sean_C]

I'm guessing that he still hasn't been paid, and is still thinking of consigning.

[daviddbreadman]

Terrible Testudine. I don't understand the ballyhoo. Something is fishy and/or very wrong here.

1) If you were paid you were only paid because of public pressure put out by people here. For you to turn around and then consign new material to these guys is tantamount to spitting in the face of everyone here who has supported you. I take offense to that stupidity. Its disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.

2) If you weren't paid and you still are consigning new material to these guys then you are the biggest fool on this forum and you don't deserve to be paid a dime.

Either way, the message you send by these actions is disgraceful and your tomfoolery should be rewarded with a tea bag.

I'm sorry to butt in, I just need to repeat the above quote. It's the funniest thing I've ever read.

Thanks, David.

Please confirm that you've been paid for your previous consignment. There still seems to be some confusion about it.

With everything you know, including testimonials from other consignors, articles in the newspaper, etc....how are you going to feel if you still do business with them and then get ripped off?

[2dueces]

For a minute I thought Turtleguy was Doug. It's the perfect screen name. When trouble brews, just duck your head inside your shell and wait till it passes.

Let's put the smiley face in here so everyone knows it's all in fun.

Ooops.

[Rich Klein]

Frank DiRoberto name which is familiar. Can you remind me please?

Thanks
Rich

Could you please identify, with great specificity (i.e. grades etc.), exactly what you will be giving Legendary to sell for you so we can see if that exact material you identify here in this thread ends up in one of their future auctions? Thanks!
