15 Minute Extended Clock Error
 

The extended period clock is erroring - please ignore the clock - we have extended to 11:15pm because of the issue.

HARD CLOSE 11:15pm

bump this up - has anyone received their items yet?

last communication was on march 22nd, saying they'd ship if they could.

Is this the 2nd auction in a row where these guys have had issues?

Well to be fair, this is a little different. I know we're a little slower getting stuff out the door because we're on "shelter in place" I'm allowed to go to the office but we're using USPS pick up for packages instead of just running them to the PO, etc.

+1
Personally, I would give AH's and other companies a little slack during this time. That includes TPG's., AH's and other sellers.

I was provided a tracking # and my items are to arrive today. I inquired and they indicated things are slow because of the shelter in place etc. Basically a one man shipping operation at this point.

Yeah, seriously . . .in this environment if you buy something it comes when it comes. Major cutting of slack all around.

Again, wondering if other people are receiving items.

I appreciate AH's have a lot to ship, but same time it's part of the deal.

I've bought close to a dozen other things from other folks since that auction ended, all of those have been received and I don't have tracking from this.

However, a one man shipping operation would make sense, may just be luck of the draw of where the invoice is in the stack.

I emailed them too--got the same answer--1 man mailing--I paid by paypal over 2 weeks ago---I dont think I would bid again in this auction. Hope I get my cards.

Well I'm a 1.5 man operation and we shipped a 1300 lot auction from March 1st and I think the worst case scenario was 4 business days between payment and shipping, and we still have a handful of late payments to deal with.

The question is can whoever is taking care of the shipping get to work? It's all about the current situation which simply isn't normal.

That being said communication is everything, and in this day and age can be done from home. A note explaining their particular situation would probably go a long way to assuaging peoples fears.

Oh, and Don, I'll try not to be hurt that you've never bid with me :)

If it Quacks like a duck.......
 

I will play contrarian - While I certainly would give houses that I have had good-great past experiences with a lot of latitude given the current circumstances, based on all the reports from the last CU auction - I choose to see CU as "guilty until proven innocent". The current situation probably provides great "cover". For those who chose to bid - please share and update your experiences.

I don't know, with all the horrible shit going down around us, I'm going to get aggravated about a shipping delay on a card? I don't know.

RIP Adam Schlesinger, one of my musical heroes for the last few decades.

I would agree, but as far as I know they did eventually make good on everything from the first auction.

If I'm mistaken please share the info!

Scott---I will have to check you out again, sorry I have not bid with you, I do see alot of your posts on here and you are a First Class Person, You should come to a Boston show sometime (hoping maybe this summer , we will have one) You do run a great auction. Good Luck with all, Don

In all fairness, they're in Manhattan which is in lockdown. The Governor wants everyone to stay home. As a non-essential business, fines could be levied if they're caught working.
Post Offices are also a mess because of social distancing. Some offices limit the number of customers inside and bring in one person as another leaves.

These are extraordinary times we live in.

I know right? If people took themselves out of the cozy little bubbles they lived in and tried to have a little compassion during these taxing times. I think most people at this point should be willing to give out a "free pass." It blows my mind that the on time delivery of baseball cards is a major concern right now.

Seriously +1.

I've been debating one or both of the Boston shows for some time now. As a small operation new shows are tough. I was already established as a dealer at Philly and Chantilly when I bought the auction so I had a base of people who were already doing business with me. I usually have several scheduled consignments appointments and several walk ups at both of those shows.

Now that selling cards has become secondary to supporting the business it's harder for me to make a new show work financially. For instance I did Pittsburgh for the first time last year. I got 3 people to sign up for our email list and no consignments. Card sales didn't cover costs with rent, travel and hotel. I can only afford to do that so often.

Of course the Catch 22 is: It wasn't worthwhile because people didn't know me, but the only way to get the locals to know me is to keep going.

Thanks for the kind words and who knows, I just might see you in Boston in 2020.

Extraordinary times
 

Thank you to all of you who have shared genuine concern for all the people who live and work in New York during this scary time.

For those of you who are not in New York - The restrictions on non-essential businesses are severe. Just like PSA (a large company in California) cannot operate as normal, CUA (a small company in New York) also cannot operate as normal.

The impact is widespread, not a single business has been spared, there are limitations on everything you can imagine - including rations on toilet paper - if you can find it.

This is scary stuff... the threat to everyone's health is real... people are dying.

That said, most of the packages have already shipped out, as President of CUA my first priority is the satisfaction of my customers but NEVER at the expense of the safety and health of the people who work for the company - including myself.

I hope this helps to shed a little light on whats happening here.

Thank you

PS: Don & David - I will check to see if your orders are out the door when I go to the office in the morning - if they are not - I will personally ship them to you tomorrow.

My winnings arrived yesterday. Pretty darn good all things considered. I’d buy again for sure.

Regards,

Scott

Thanks for the update Aaron
