Something is weird in this story!

Literally, many thousands of customers/consignors have been satisfied with the service over the last 35 years from Lelands and Clean Sweep so I guess they will make up their own minds about the validity of this claim.
Whether he cashed the check or not, he did get the advance as far as the auction house is concerned.

I assumed he returned the check to them. Maybe not.

The auctioneers knew exactly what they were doing. Under NY law 16% is the most you can charge w/o committing civil usury. Maybe legal but not a good look, guys.

Yikes. Yeah, that's not a good look at all.

Especially on a sum that in context to the AH is negligible.
