Feel bad for Powell who I don’t know but it sucks…

Let's not forget the consignor, let's assume Powell was willing to go 750k on the set, The Heritage set up never allowed him to go all in. Bad set up all around and really poor management after the fact by Heritage.

But the next time they have a card someone wants, that someone will bid anyway. Bad behavior never gets punished in this hobby.

After this shitshow I would assume REA just secured a new consignor.

No disrespect at all to Powell, but Heritage Auctions is not going to miss one consignor.

From all that I have seen and read about this here, Powell is the winner in my opinion and is getting screwed. I see a lawsuit coming.

What are his damages, assuming for argument's sake he has a cause of action? He's out nothing (I assume Heritage has returned or will return the wire transfer) and he has stated he had no intent to resell.

Often a claim that someone done you wrong does not translate well into a lawsuit.

Powell.... So they wouldn't talk to you? Did they at least refund the wire transfer you sent?

That’s for a judge and jury to decide what his damages are. I’m just an average Joe.

Could it come under unfair and deceptive business practices?

If the consigner was well-versed in the auction process he would have complained to Heritage during the month the lots were up about the software not providing a comparison of the full set lot price vs. the individual lots total at each bid. Anyone actually think the consigner, unless he reads this board, actually was told what fully went down by Heritage? How much money was left on the table due to Heritage’s incompetence?
