Mhcc brian drent rude condescending irresponsible and just unkind human being

[Jeff_cvc]

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, that sounds really frustrating.

I live in Denver and have participated in Mile High auctions since 2017. Their old offices were located very close to my restaurant, hence I pick up winnings from them to save on shipping. They even ordered some pizza from me one night during their closing of an auction. I thought that was a nice gesture. I’ve never dealt with Brian, my contact down there is Ben. He’s a great guy, that I have always enjoyed talking with on my visits to their offices. I’ve never had any issues, but instead I’ve only had great interactions with Ben. I will also add that their old and new offices were always very well kept, everything looked organized and everyone I’ve met there has been nothing but friendly.

It’s a bummer to hear about Brian’s response to this situation and I hope it comes to an appropriate resolution.

I get the frustration of the OP but I must be missing something because I am not seeing what exactly he has done wrong or how he was rude, condescending, irresponsible, etc etc, other than the OP assertions that he was.

I consider Mile High a pretty big operation and the fact that the owner has handed out his cellphone means he is pretty accessible. When things are not resolved to our satisfaction it is annoying but sometimes we need to place ourselves in other peoples' shoes to gain the proper perspective. Brian might be the owner of the company but I am confident a business of his size has people there more qualified to handle payment status of invoices, no?

And finally, I have done wires in the past and they have bounced back a week later because some minor thing was wrong on the wire instructions. Wondering if the OP has verified with his bank that the wire went through. Maybe the wire was initiated and it truly was not received by the Mile High.

I'm not a huge fan of the "customer is always right" canard. . . . having had public facing jobs in my life. . . . .and the customer isn't always right . . . sometimes he's totally out of line obnoxious dick . . . . but this interaction sounds like the business owner just assumed from the git go that this guy was full of it or misinformed. Sort of a weird tact to take.

Jeff,

If it was Ben Gassaway, he passed away this year. It’s on their main page.

Ed, thank you for letting me know.

I last spoke with Ben in March when I had won some items. I remember picking up the items with my son, Sam. Ben was so kind to take the time and ask Sam about himself and they talked baseball and golf. I’m really saddened to hear this news, he was always someone I looked forward to seeing and enjoy some friendly banter. You’ll be missed Ben, sending prayers to your family.
