Now with Crazy Uncle I am at the 5-6 week point, no money, no communication, missing many $100Ks worth of items that were never returned, etc. etc. etc...…..would you agree I should start to be concerned?

Without question you should be concerned. No doubt.
In my case I have dealt with the guy before, he's local, been around a long time, and as I said, never a problem with communication. I add up the time he allows winners to pay, the time shipping takes, his policy of allowing returns under certain circumstances, and I conclude his timelines are reasonable and acceptable to me.
That was my only point - that an auction house consignment isn't as quick as a simple ebay/paypal transaction.
I think you have a very serious problem and the non-communication is the loudest warning siren. I wish you luck.
