Frank-- what is your assessment of their auction ending format ? Do we need to have Steve lobby them too ?

Not a fan of their "auction will close when the last shill bidder falls asleep" format.


I kid I kid!

I'm not sure what is more offensive: their business model or them trying to fake us out.

I just looked through closing prices.... wow! Some were pretty low... not sure the last time I saw a PSA 8 56 Topps Mantle sell for $6500! There were a lot of no bids on items (certainly understand no bids on their raw stuff).

Will this be the last Candiman auction?

The 56 Mantle PSA 8 last sold for $8k, nearly a $1300 loss on that card.....this card must have been a "loss leader". I wonder when/where this card will resurface?

What i got from Candiman Auction was an email from them about their auction closing. What they got from me was my prompt identification of this email as spam.

I heard an old saying. "Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me". I believed them at their word and gave them a chance in their inaugural auction. I got burned. I would be foolish to bid in anymore of their auctions. And that's all I have to say about that.

Seriously,
It is not really over...their auction closing format is as follows...

1. Post a time and date of initial close
2. Last bidder (shill or otherwise) 10 minutes no bid, closes lot.
3. Auction continues on ebay with "unsold" sold lots-- or actual unsold lots--or lots that sold but were not paid for-- or lots that sold to a friend and he is auctioning it off for us lots-- or lots that did not meet the hidden reserve, etc....
4. Next auction will post soon and will include lots of lots of unsold material, new material, and material that was no paid for by our shill bidder last time...
5. It never ends!

Well, I hope Candiman and their precedent flim flam operations, Battlefield and War Eagle, will now quietly go to the Hall of Shame where they belong, but somehow I doubt it. People like this don't know when to quit.
