Dave, you might want to consider contacting the FBI about what has transpired. I believe your sad saga may qualify as mail fraud, which is under the jurisdiction of the FBI. I bet Aaron would wake up if the Feds turned up at his door.

But I don't think one of his guys dropping stuff in front of my house constitutes mail.

there's some kind of interstate commerce as he is registered in Delaware and you are not.

My one experience consigning to an auction house wouldn't be of any help. The overall dollar amount was more like 2-300 per auction.

Yes, but presumably you used the USPS or a private carrier to send your consignments to CU, so the mail has been involved. This is the most egregious case of dealer incompetence/ fraud since Mastro.

I would say since PSA/PWCC. Mastro was eons ago.

It may seem eons ago to you, but if you had been a major consignor to him and lost a significant amount of money in the process, you might feel differently. But I do agree that PWCC/PSA ranks right up there.

Well, I always did very well as a consignor with Mastro. But I do feel for those consignors who lost money with them. I was actually listed on the shilled victim report a couple of times as a "winning" bidder. So I did get burned to the tune of a couple hundred bucks on that end.

Still I believe those crimes pale in comparison to the PSA/PWCC fraud. God only knows how many mis-graded altered cards are still out there, which have not been (and never will be) identified as such.

The problem is that he picked up all of the items from me in person. He met me at my office on numerous occasions and we carefully loaded up his minivan 4 or 5+ times.....checking off each item as we loaded them.

So USPS was not involved.
