This is what is odd to me. Mailed our check on Monday and still nothing. Even in their TOS they state that they wait 5-10 days for the check to clear before they ship anything out. Is there a different set of rules for different people?

Just speaking for myself, I send cashier's checks, not personal checks, when paying for items.

Cheers,

This is because you declared that you were done collecting...they're trying to help you.

Bids were placed previously. I don'r renege. I stated that earlier. You are saying the same thing, I am saying the same thing. David was right about you.

Bobby, Pete is just joking (I think!). I think auction houses usually ship faster to buyers who have many years of proven payments to them. I remember in the past for Legendary, if you had something like 4-5 auctions where your check cleared without problems, they would ship once they received your payment without waiting for your check to clear. I'm assuming REA takes that to another level with buyers who have an even longer record of purchases (especially higher dollar) from them. In addition, some of these folks may have had large consignments with REA in the past. (Not speaking for REA, just wildly guessing)

yes...it was a joke.

I have dealt with REA for 6 years. My first invoice was in 2010. If that isn't long enough, then I apologize. Actually, I want to say it is longer than that. I was looking on their site, and the invoices only go back to 2010, but I could have swore it's been longer than that, because that same year also has a consignor statement, and I know I was buying from them long before I consigned anything to them.

It's all part of a vast conspiracy IMO.

Sigh.
