After an auction closes, it can take a few weeks for all bidders to pay, another week for the last payments to clear, a week to get the items delivered to the winners, and then most reputable AHs allow a week or two for the winners to return an item, if it was misrepresented.

So I think expecting the money after just 4 weeks from auction close might not be realistic. However, there is NO excuse for poor communication, especially considering the dollar amount you're dealing with.

Good luck!!

Normally I would agree with that but I was told 14 days. It is double that now. No communication or anything. REA communicated with me, acted professionally and paid 6 figures in less than 30 days. LOTG communicated with me, acted professionally and paid 6 figures in less than 30 days. Crazy Uncle........well you know !!!

ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS !!!

One thing I learned early in life is that every decision you make is an OODA Loop. There's "no excuse" for you working with them a second time. This complaining is void of personal responsibility regardless of the lip service. These people clearly run a sh*t sandwich shack but you came back for seconds and ordered the full menu. There is an excuse for their behaviour and that is they don't care about you, your stuff or your business. Get in the fight man. Lawyer up, hire some goons, take action. Complaining will only get you more sh*t sandwiches.

That's crazy, I know for a fact Dave doesn't even like bread.

+1 (kind of). Dave, you got seriously screwed. But with everything that’s happened and the dollars at stake, I don’t understand why your actions have been limited to posting complaints here. It’s a good start, but it seems awfully disproportionate. I would have called the state AG, filed a lawsuit, reached out to media publications (not just Net54), and the least, found out where the business is located and showed up in person to get my money and the hundred of thousands of dollars of items they still have. I am rooting for you, but I can’t understand how relatively relaxed you seem about all this. I would be going ape shit

With all due respect to everyone.....all are assuming because I haven't shared my legal course of action, that there is none.....trust me there is. I just don't want to give too much of the legal plan as it could hurt my case.....kinda like the Astros stealing signs.....why give the other side a heads up as to the pitch I'm about to throw.....and CU will have pitches thrown at them (and before Aaron says that was a threat to cause bodily injury.....it's only an expression and an analogy).

I've said it before, the purpose of my posts are to warn people and to educate people that there may be despicable and dishonest AHs and despicable and dishonest people who run AHs out there.

Not looking for any help, I have a team handling that. Just wanted to share my story.

I’ve been following this thread from the beginning as I find it informative and frankly I’m just curious to see more twists and turns until the conclusion finally happens. Kind of like reading a decent novel. Unfortunately, this involves real people with real feelings and real live’s at stake. By no means do I want to minimize the impact this has on all parties involved.

With that said, I do not understand the bashing that the OP receives from some board members. Would I have given the AH another opportunity, definitely not. But would I judge Dave from where I sit, definitely not. How can I judge someone when I am not in their shoes and do not have his experiences and past history at my fingertips. What I do know is that Dave has an incredible collection that I financially am not anywhere near. My collection is pennies to his dollars (but I do love my collection ). Apparently, Dave has made some pretty damn good decisions in his past to be where he is now. Maybe by showing compassion in his past business dealings have benefited him?? This time it didn’t, but who am I to judge. What I do know is he got screwed as I have not heard from the other side. For me, I have compassion for the crap that he’s been through, nobody deserves that, regardless of any perceived poor decisions. It’s like blaming the victim for making poor choices, it still does not justify the crime.

Anyhow, those are my two cents, now back to the originally scheduled program.

Thank you Jeff. Those are very kind words and I appreciate you taking the time to say what you did. Yes, I gave someone a second chance and yes they screwed me for that. But as you said, and to further the analogy, (and pardon the crude comparison) but you don't blame the rape victim because they walked alone one day......was it a bad decision to walk alone, yes, but the despicable act is 100% on the criminal.

I've said this repeatedly on this thread but here's one more try......I welcome Aaron's comments and/or rebuttals. The reason he has not commented is because he knows he screwed me intentionally and he knows I can document EVERYTHING I am saying here. He has no defense other that incompetence or thievery....THAT IS ALL HE HAS. Any excuse he comes up with, I can show document after document to prove he is not telling the whole truth.

Does anyone else find it odd that he has not commented for weeks (and we know he has been logged in)??? Wouldn't any of you be defending yourselves if I were in fact telling lies about you??? Could it be that I am telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth???

And once again, the legal aspect is being taken care of...…..these postings are just FYIs and a detail of my experience.....again not trying to influence anyone to stop doing business with Crazy Uncle......you are all adults, make your own decisions.

So Aaron...…….BRING IT!!!!!!!!

The volume and impact of his silence is deafening!!

Yes, I am not always good with my civilian analogies, but where I come from it's called brotherly love, not "bashing". The anxious desparity in the posts reminded me of being forced to ingest Portnoy's Complaint so again, my bad for not being sensitive enough in my response. The story is so crazy that it warrants a range of emotions. I now understand Dave's intent and fair warnings. It's all good. I'm pulling for you Dave and the rest of you that got screwed.
