But back the F off the fascist constant emails & texts, forcing me to pay ASAP.

I wanted to pay by mailing a check USPS ... but Goldin's hounding me forced me pay by credit card & eat the 3% fee .... just to wait now 3-4 weeks before my card arrives.

EDIT - Venting here must have worked - they just shipped my card within the last hour.

No
Venting on here actually didn’t work.
I had a staff member contact you and ask for your name and email so we could get you shipped. You did not provide that info to them (they forwarded me your reply), so we could not help you. That said, it appears as you said your order shipped anyway, which means the efforts I referred to in my post 2 days ago has worked. At this point over 75% of the backlog has been cleaned up , and again I am sorry for any inconvenience this delay caused.
Once again, if it makes you feel better to post insults feel free to do so, but if you need to get something accomplished I am going to be very hands on. So feel free to email me personally at ken@goldin.com

Whether right or wrong, it's nice to see an auction owner respond to complaints on net54.

No skin in the game but I Agree 100%

No tracking number showing in my order, so it probably did not ship yet.
Someone most likely just clicked "SHIPPED" in the system, and then who knows.

Ken reached out to address my question, thanks

I am sympathetic to the collectors who did not get their stuff in a reasonable time but that issue has been addressed and explained, so why not give the AH a chance to get it right, or use the direct contact info that Ken provided instead of railing here?

With regard to the pestering exhortations to pay, there is a simple solution: don't. If you want to pay by check and that is an option, just do it and send the emails to the trash unread. No one has to do something just because someone is a pest. Just Say No (I think I read that somewhere).

Thread needs a card:

And it appears that Goldin weekly auctions are now a thing of the past.

Did they announce that or just a guess based on not having one this week? I was thinking maybe they were skipping one or more weeklies to catch up on shipping and possibly would come back with them at a higher value point and less inventory.

I assumed based on what Ken Goldin said on this forum plus the lack of one this week. I think it would be strange to skip a few weeks and then go back to it.

2 weeklies running just now
I just delayed the open for the one opening today to ensure we can timely ship everything in it.
Did not see an urgency to open it at 8am Tuesday, we opened it 430pm

I am reminded of the famous Mark Twain quote.

Or the famous Eric Idle quote:

A wink's as good as a nod to a blind bat. Nudge nudge. Snap snap. Grin grin. Wink wink. Say no more?

Goldin -

Just want to say "thank you" to Ken Goldin & his staff.
I've been upset w/ them in the past & responded in an immature manner.

I recently won a partial set of Bowman Football in a recent Goldin auction.

There was a typo in the auction listing, suggesting more cards were in the partial set than physically existed. When the lot arrived in shipping, I noticed there were fewer cards than the auction listing posted.

I inquired w/ the Goldin staff. They reviewed the typo in the listing and gave me a partial credit towards my account & allowed me to keep the cards. This is more than fair. Thank you.
