Now is that Uncle Jimmy or Uncle Crazy ??

[arcadekrazy]

Yes. Last night

[brianp-beme]

I have a feeling Uncle Jimmy was smart as whip and crazy like a fox. Uncle Crazy on the other hand...

What about shipping? Might as well wait and send all at once.

[bobbyw8469]

What kind of auction house is this??? Everything I have heard has been crazy.

They give fair warning with "crazy"in the AH name. Seems you also need to be crazy to bid with them.

[perezfan]

And even crazier to consign with them...

You'd think someone from that company would spend the 30 seconds to post something here, clearing things up. Amazing how some businesses can thrive despite themselves.

[grandcards]

I called them yesterday to pay by phone, because I couldn't get the paypal to work when I logged into my account.

They were trying to get invoices out starting last night -- their system doesn't automatically calculate shipping so they have to manually input shipping before each invoice can be finalized individually. Once the invoice is sent the paypal feature is unlocked on their website (as well as other methods of payment, I assume).

I haven't gotten mine yet, but it sounded like they were on the way.

I'm not sure there's any other aspect of life...that I'm aware of...where so much bullshit is tolerated than this beloved hobby! WTF!

In my auction I have to individually calculate shipping as well. We had 700 lots and 200 different winners. They were all invoiced in 24 hours. I do it myself.

And you do a great job! It was my first time winning something from either of you and can say that your quick turnaround and excellent customer service won you points in my book.

As for Crazy Uncle, I just wanted to pass along the explanation I got, since people seemed concerned after not hearing anything.

Scott, correct me if I'm wrong, but before you put the invoice out to view, you add the shipping/tax/etc. The invoice can't be viewed until that is done. Crazy had the invoices posted on their site without that info. Also in their T&C Crazy indicates invoices would be "emailed to bidders the day after auction close and will also be available by logging into your online account" My invoice total posted on the site changed 2 different times since the auction closed.

[sflayank]

Same here invoice changed online twice
Without shipping info
Still no email
Auction says invoice emails next day
It's now 5 days

[ThomasL]

My invoice was emailed this morning. Paid immediately and cant wait for my card to come in.

100% correct and another reason why I work so hard to get them done within 24 hours so they can be posted.

[sflayank]

So I finally got my email yesterday
Paid by paypal immediately
Go to my invoice today still shows not paid for
When will they ship?
Anyone have any answers

The only thing I worry about is the sign on his address that says eyebrow doctor

[White Borders]

Received my invoice today. Got a kick out of it that it said "Due on receipt"

[sflayank]

Apparently someone on this post has items in the auction and feels my comments are trying to persuade
People not to bid in his auction
That person is not too bright
I couldnt care less who bids in what auction
Comments are truthful ...and this forum is here to bring the truth to the public..if a consignor to that auction cant handle the truth...that's just too bad..

[BabyRuth]

Wow - that link to the eyebrow doctor - really is "crazy"!!!!

Ain't that the truth.
It's absolutely amazing.

[jerrys]

I got an invoice and paid it. Yesterday I got another with a different (higher) amount. Called three times today to straighten it out. Each time I get a recording saying they are sending out invoices.
What next?

Hi Larry, aka The Truthbringer, guessing this is about me. I'll spare the diatribe from your PMS

What's do you need ebay 1 day shipping? Doubt it will ship before July 4th anyhow.


How about the CONVENIENCE of not having to send a check? Remember those days!!

Wait, they are still here!

Even lelands, clean sweep etc still have to mail the ole paper check, wait for it to clear, etc That must kill ya. Locked up in someone's closet for 30+ years and you need it now.

And far as the office, probably it is a rental that was leased to someone else on your link. Just a guess. As for the eyebrow doctor, Id consider asking that special lady in your life what happens at one. Guys too should visit to prevent that monobrow look.

I visited REA in Robs basement also lelands is in the back of a strip mall. Pretty classless picking on him for his office.

If you know where it is, hop on a plane and come down, pay the NY sales tax too.

I'd like to see aaron succeed, but with that bad press you are giving him, I'm not sure your pittance is worth keeping you as a registered bidder. That would be at his discretion.

If it wasnt for people trying something new in this hobby, it would be pretty boring. I'm cheering for the younger generation to take over, as the hobby will die, ot literally and figuratively

So what's this really about? Think he will a frank prisco and just NOT send the items and obscond with the funds?

I remember Prisco touting a legit Ruth autograph on a 1953 Silver Certificate. What a disaster.... LOL.....

[Republicaninmass]

Recently, well 3 years now I think. Prisco made off with at least 60k via live auctioneers platform, 4k from me

Apparently ted s...misses the point
1st of all the other posts are the posts scrutinizing crazy uncle..
2nd...according to his own auction site you can pay by check and save the 3%
3rd...the 1st invoice had 18% added on
The 2nd invoice had 21% added on
The 3rd invoice gave you no choice but to pay the 21%
4th..his auction site states emphatically invoices will be mailed next day...5 days later and people still dont have invoice
5th....paid invoice still shows not paid
All I've said is the truth...
If hes on this board...post information
Send out a mass email to let everyone know what's going on
JUST COMMON COURTESY
As for the eyebrow dr...99 out of a 100 find it amusing
You're the one who doesnt....hmmm
And last but not least...if you get paid by PayPal anytime this week...you should ship those items ASAP
THATS HOW YOU BUILD A BUSINESS

Everyone knows Babe Ruth was ahead of his time.

[sycks22]

I can't speak to invoices, but I was pleased with my consignment prices.

This all seems like the same issue around this 3%. I'm guessing he can elaborate

4th..his auction site states emphatically invoices will be mailed next day...5 days later and people still dont have invoice

You did but it was wrong, no?

5th....paid invoice still shows not paid

I realize it been minutes since you paid, maybe he has to manually reset it to paid. I have no clue

[/QUOTE]

I feel it's in poor taste to insult someone's lively hood. It would be akin to me posting a picture of an old age home in ***rise Florida

And last but not least...if you get paid by PayPal anytime this week...you should ship those items ASAP
THATS HOW YOU BUILD A BUSINESS

I'm sure he appreciates the tip.

Doesnt ASAP meant just that? As soon as POSSIBLE? Probably a little overwhelmed, heck if I know. I guess I should be asking about my consignment check already according to your consumer model.

I guess the customer is always right, maybe you can get some free stuff, or a better deal next if you keep complaining.

Sorry this happen to you.

[sflayank]

It's truly amazing how uneducated you are
No understanding of anything thats been said
Every comment on this post says the same thing as I've said
But you continue to choose to zero in on me...I dont swing that way
Bottom line is the auction was run extremely poorly
I hope they can do better next time
And almost a week later he refuses to comment
What is he afraid of

[Republicaninmass]

Call up and try cancel if you are truly so upset.


I guess "Stuff trumps" all dont it!

[sflayank]

U really dont get it...I'm not upset at all..I'll get my winnings whenever...
Simply pointing out, along with everyone else all the problems they've had....and btw ..if I wanted to call ..I couldnt...they dont answer the phone

[perezfan]

I don't know why everyone is at odds, or is even surprised over this...

It's not like they named their business "Sane Uncle".

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know the name and number/email of the owners of Crazy Uncles?

FYI - Aaron Rothschild is the president and per his email to me over a week ago, he is not the owner and there are apparently a group owners that have invested into this business.

I have a SERIOUS issue with the last auction as a consignor and Aaron has not taken my calls nor returned any of my emails for over a week now. I was promised over a week ago that I would be receiving a call on Monday June 29th from the Crazy Uncle ownership to try and fix the HUGE mess they caused. Needless to say, no calls were made and no replies to my emails in over a week.

I am not trying to air my dirty laundry on this thread, but this is so unprofessional and incompetent !!! I am not going to give the details as it is not my intent to take any business away from Aaron or Crazy Uncle......but I have no intention of being F'd over (pardon my vulgar terminology to anyone who may take offense).

Aaron - I hope you are reading this thread because you know you have been avoiding me and you know how much you screwed up with this auction. Further you saw my instructions that those consigned items may not be released or I hold you and Crazy Uncle financially responsible (as per my three or four emails to you).

So you sold stuff in the auction, now you are ordering that the items not be released? Very curious to hear how you think they messed up.

+ Several, I am sure many of us would like to hear about what happened in your situation in this thread or by PM.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

As an auctioneer I would assume they did something contrary to the language of the contract. In a small company that's easier to do than you might think as sometimes when you are creating the auction you are so immersed in photography and descriptions you can forget specifics set forth in the contract. Key is fixing it before the auction ends or making it right afterwards.

[CJDave]

I will gladly detail some of the screw ups if I do not hear back from Aaron in the next 24 hours or so. Again, not my intent to air dirty laundry nor cause him or his company to lose customers, but man up and fix your blunders. 600 lots in this last auction were from me......tons more never made it in.

Aaron - don't know why you are choosing to avoid me.....actually I do, because this mess up will cost you tens of thousands in commission on this last auction.

You have my number.....you've texted me plenty
You have my email......you've emailed me plenty

They seem to be doing that all on their own.
