Issue with Probstein (and nothing to do with Shill Bidding)

I think it's his customers bidding patterns which have been questioned often and rightfully so.

Rich's issues are not limited to his customers' bidding patterns. Rick has some Rick issues with certain of his own items which have also miraculously been run up.

when you consigned did you pay extra for the shilling service?

I recently sold an item to a customer on ebay and the same item showed up in a probstein auction and the same customer was bidding on the item. Seems dirty!

I consigned with rick once in either 2010 or 2011. I did alright in in the auctions , but thought I could have done alot better. He called me with final prices and promptly mailed my check. But ive also heard alot the stories of late and probably would not consign again. Lately too, I havent seen him setting up at as many shows anymore. But overall, I found him to be a nice guy and treated me well and I have no complaints, just surprised.
