Now you want to survey the community who is raising eyebrows, to help "you" fix the problem. When in fact you admitted you were part of the very problem with past actions. Too many folks have come here over the years that were rule breakers who claimed to be converted hobby white knights or innocent.

History has shown that almost never is the case. I say best of luck with your business but please spare me the song and dance. I'm actually a little shocked at how many folks here have just glazed past your admissions. I've said it before and I'll say it again it's hard to feel sorry for this hobby and some of it's collectors because so many are so easy and willing to be duped and keep coming back for more.

Sorry if I don't rush to help or applaud your new found integrity. I would prefer to put that effort and attention with the honest players vs. the admitted coming clean players. Just my take....nothing personal in fact I don't think I've ever really done much with you in the way of business etc.

Cheers,

The inevitable "I've never had a problem with him" posts are pretty familiar, aren't they? But they're really beside the point, because it has never been suggested that PWCC has less than stellar customer service. I received every card I ever won from Mastro or Legendary quickly and well-packaged. So?

I do hope Brent is being sincere and that all the anomalies one sees in his auctions have innocent explanations. I would also like to believe he doesn't accept consignments from people with reputations as card doctors, although I guess that would be na�ve because who doesn't? But just to loudly proclaim one's innocence is not enough in some folks' book. And I still would like to understand why Brent came on here and claimed he had never heard complaints about his scans when he had only recently posted a long rebuttal to exactly such a claim on CU. If he lied about that, and it does seem he did, why should we believe him about other things?

I hate to say it...but I believe in the term..."once a cheater always a cheater!"

Any AH/seller who has proven to exhibit unfair/unethical business practices has lost me as a bidder/consigner...forever!

And to the unnamed AH who is constantly asking me why I continue to talk smack about them on here...this is why! You used to allow your employees/consigners to bid on auction items but no longer...but you only came clean after you were caught on numerous occasions...Bullshit I say!

Sad how some who made a career livelihood out of a hobby they must have loved at some point in their lives...have worked so hard to destroy it!

Brent, have you ever offered to waive sales tax for Calfornia auction winners if they paid by check?

Is it true that a good lawyer never asks a question he/she doesn't know the answer to?

Did a good lawyer just ask a question, I must have missed it.

I am not a lawyer, but actively encouraging shill bidding in 2010 when the wire fraud statute of limitations is five years seems iffy to mention in multiple public settings (this board and Collector's Universe).

I am one, and I agree. Those paper trails can undo you sometimes.
