I don't get the hostility either.
He sent all bidders a note that he'll be at the East Coast National this weekend.
Al is a 1 man company, he does everything himself and he does it right.

Per the rules the original poster is Mark Dol.fi .....LOTG is an advertiser here but regardless, I am still a strong supporter. Al does just about everything right.

if you paid on the 10th, they couldnt have even shipped til the 11th, a weeks worth of delivery days would then be the 18th, it seems to be only the 16th today.

you didnt get your item in 4 shipping days and you are going off, whats going on? give em another week. plus why not call, email, text and just ask where it is? 2 weeks is not a long time to wait till you get your winnings.

Al is a great guy who is building a first rate auction house that we can trust. Not sure why you are so hostile/impatient. Chill..you will get your stuff.

Al is a top notch guy and he told me they're a little behind on shipments because of the East coast national. I do kind of chuckle when I see an advertiser saying "accepting consignments", isn't every auction house always accepting consignments?

Al is such a breath of fresh air in the Hobby compared to the the card doctoring, puffery writing, bid shilling, s/h raping Masters of the Universe we are used to. As pointed out he is a one man show, wearing all the hats and, in my experience as both a consigner and a bidder, doing a hell of a job building a first class AH from scratch. Real nice guy to work with too. Guess you can't please everyone.

Mark-- it is too bad you are disappointed with your recent experience with LOTG, but unless you think the majority here are just off base, maybe you should at least consider giving them another try. I have experienced delays on occasion with many good sellers because of a temporary issue. I would never stop doing business with a dealer who had great hobby reputation because of a minor shipment delay, otherwise I would be the main loser

I think this is a very fair read of this. Al is a good guy, friend to many on the board and certainly more honest than the average auction house owner (in fairness so is a cockroach). But the beef raised by the OP is legit and has been used to attack Heritage and other auction houses. Al is a big boy and can answer for himself but being a serious auction house sometimes requires quicker shipping. I suspect Al will fix this and I also suspect the OP will give him another chance. He deserves it if for no other reason than he's not a crook. And we need as many auction house owners like that as we can get.

Some guys just can't wait to get their new bubble gum card. OP probably negs eBay buyers/sellers first day after auction ends - I know the type. Al is the best - what other AH would send an apology email in advance knowing that things were being delayed?

Al Crisafulli is an A+ First-class guy who runs an auction house by himself. If he didn't go to shows to pick up consignments, he would have nothing to offer any of us.

Further, if you had a problem with his "open communication" regarding his delay in shipping, you should have sent him a private message instead of attempting to smear him on a public forum. Al is an honest guy, hence his message to those of us who won items in his auction. It's called Customer Relations, Mark.

For the record, I sent him payment for my winnings the day he posted my invoice. I didn't work myself into an unreasonable snit when I received his message about the delay. On the contrary, I appreciated his honesty.

My wife appreciated his message because it means that I'm not sitting in a folding chair by the mailbox every day.

Lighten up, Mark. Al is a super-super guy.

Cheers,
Mike

In a short span of time, Al C. has created a top auction house. Hard work, honesty, attentiveness, research skills, remarkable knowledge of his offerings and the sincerest desire to articulate the best descriptions of these offerings in the business have set LOTG apart from the crowd. I continue to stand behind him, knowing that he gives his all, his very best.

all the best,
Barry
