What about the damage to consignors from potentially have to dispute valuations on many of the scarcer items? All that avoided.

What are your thoughts on other consignors who potentially lost $$$ on their consignments in the scenario highlighted in my previous post? Innocent bystanders?

If that happened, obviously it's unfortunate. No winning options here for ML.

I was responding to the idea of consignors who weren't directly affected by the theft being negatively impacted by the continuation of the auction of the items that were stolen.

I really think there were only two options. Cancel the auction entirely, or let it run like they did. Any half measure would've been an abject disaster.

Best part is......99% of these posters haven't sniffed 2 million bucks worth of cards, let alone would they know what do if they were stolen.

I haven't committed murder either, but I know it's wrong.

Stupid plebes. Don't they realize that the value of their Internet opinions is directly proportional to their net worth?

I wondered if anyone caught that. Now we’re starting a class war, the sniffers vs the never-have-sniffed.

The 1 per-scent discharging their snottiness on opinions of others.

As an Italian, does my Roman nose permit heightened sniffing capacity, beyond my otherwise economically limited olfactory abilities?

I had economically limited olfactory abilities, but discovered that blowing my nose on a regular basis did wonders for my bank account.

Yes I cannot believe people who are not multi-millionaires also have opinions and some of those filthy poor people are against hosting fraudulent auctions. The audacity of those disgusting poors! Of course I concur that only the top .5% or so should ever have an opinion permissible to be expressed in a public place. Hopefully nobody richer than you comes along to disagree.

Do you have a home health care aid standing by to remind you to breathe? Agian as a plebian, you can't assume that legally they were fraudulent auctions, as the auction house owns the property. To put in print, May open yourself up for libel.

You might want to check the dictionary before you make those insults. Mirriam-Webster attached, but you may use any dictionary you like.

Is running an auction for cards you don't have and cannot provide to winners deceitful? Of course it is.

Is running an auction for cards which you do not have and cannot produce without ever telling anyone you don't have them deceiving or misrepresenting things? Obviously it is.

Is auctioning cards that you do not have as if you have them 'not what it seems or is represented to be'? Obviously that is the case.


This is why everyone else has argued that it is okay to do this, instead of trying to completely deny it. Please, file suit! I cannot wait.
