Brandon Steiner hardly slept at all last night

That is a very professional response. Of course, I know there are many who have had a very different and decidedly not "meticulous" experience sending things into Steiner for private/public signings. I never had an issue, but I know others have.

I see in her quote "And I see a business whose focus is on keeping their offerings fully authenticated, often at greatly inflated expense," she forgot to add "at a greatly inflated price" to the end of the sentence.

From everything I have read I immediately thought that too....but she did give a very good answer to a somewhat pointed rejection. I sort of felt bad when I read her response......

I felt the same way reading it. At the same time what else could she really say? FU? I'm sure she has no idea about the incident Chris is talking about. I wonder if anybody there would remember it. Not because Chris isn't known, but because they are so busy doing all the stuff she listed, who knows if they stop and pay attention to emails like his. She certainly wasn't going to tell the owner of Net54 to take a hike and subsequently piss off the membership, who might be future customers.
I am a capitalist so I don't begrudge making money, but unfortunately it seems as though they take advantage of the common person, who has no idea about the type of stuff they sell. They sell manufactured "collectibles" and get top dollar for them. Good for them. Unfortunately, when the unsuspecting buyer goes to sell it for top dollar, or at a minimum tries to get their money back, because it came from "Steiner," they are in for a rude awakening. I can't tell how many times I have seen Steiner stuff on ebay for less than half of it's original price.

If I remember correctly, they had a discount to members on a different forum about 3 yrs ago or so. With the discount, it was still 2-5 times overpriced.

In other words, the discount isn't anything to get excited over.

I also want to state that I have also been ignored by Topps, Upper Deck, etc., when I alerted those companies to some serious autograph issues.

They simply do not want to get involved.

Quick story.

Years ago, probably around 2006, I was exposing a few sellers of forgeries on various blogs. The interesting thing about those sellers of forgeries is that when they made purchases, they would buy UDA, Steiner Sports, etc., autograph items. In other words, they were financing their legitimate purchases by selling forgeries.

I would think to myself, if anyone was reading their feedback and had any common sense, they should be questioning that seller. But no one ever did...except me.
