Darren, obviously you don't think so. But, I said what i meant, and I meant what I said. Throughout my life, I have striven to "do the right thing." IMHO, what Heritage is doing regarding their T&C #21 is not the right thing (for any auction house). Simple as that.

Concerning Chris' claim to be "well within the bounds of hobby ethics," does any other auction house openly bid on items in its own auction -- I am not talking about individual employees bidding for their collections, but the house itself?

And as long as I'm being my cheerful and charming self, let me add that I really don't like this hit and run posting business, where people do a self-serving post and then announce they won't be back to engage with questions. It's OBNOXIOUS in my humble opinion. I am sure Chris is busy, but if he is too busy he shouldn't have posted in the first place. Besides, he isn't running Microsoft.

As someone who gets flamed for being a little bit in the spotlight I don't blame Chris (or anyone) one bit for speaking their piece and not coming back. Darren Hughes comments above just about make me want to puke. The WOW, oh wow...kind of crap is internet mob mentality 101. If Chris wanted to come back, after that kind of crap being said, I would recommend he not do it. There is no need to answer that kind of juvenile drivel.
I had a long talk with Chris about Rule 21 when I consigned my whole collection to them. While I don't think AH's should generally bid in their own auctions I trust Heritage and that is why I went with them (and they have supported our forum from day 1). A few comments from the peanut gallery is background noise to Heritage's dominance in our field. They are dominant because they are good and people trust them, me included. Quote:

So leon...When you sold your collection through heritage...regarding “rule 21”. Id guess you were offered “guarantees” regarding “expectations” of the final results of your collection.
And in order to provide you with such guarantees...id presume the house bid up many of your cards. Whether you truly know or don’t know...or choose to admit whether this occurred or not...the likelihood is that it did based on rule 21. So again nothing personal and I am not looking to start any fights here but I’m not sure how your response instills any confidence Regarding this situation? |

Your post, while it is fine, is also a bunch of made up crapola. There were 0 guarantees made and 0 reserves and 0 hidden reserves when my collection sold. So since the basis of your post is made up fantasy there is no reason to discuss it. Nothing personal you are just making up things that didn't happen to bolster your argument. Pure fantasy is what your post is.

Heritage is dominant, so that makes everything OK. Just like PSA and PWCC are dominant in their fields.

Unlike you, not everyone has had a long talk with Chris, hence the reasons for the questions. Instead of flaming those that have those valid questions, why not alleviate those concerns with what you have learned personally from Chris? Personally, I think it's a joke, like a lot of things in this hobby, that they are allowed to bid on their own auctions. Like the current card doctoring/trimming scandal, this also needs to be cleaned up for the health of the hobby.

I stand by my statement that it's not a good look to refuse to answer questions after voluntarily posting. I'm not insinuating any guilt, to be clear, just saying it's not a good look and obnoxious.
Peanut gallery noise indeed lol. I guess we should be grateful Chris chose to address us at all and leave it at that, eh?
