Mastro consignors not paid yet?

Jeff's post illustrates why it is so difficult to control shill bidding, card alteration, etc. -- if they have a card we want, we look the other way and rationalize.

Yes, it's all my fault. If only I had stopped bidding on Mastro auctions they would have stopped shill bidding and other frauds. Perhaps I should be indicted too as a co-conspirator?

Jeff there you go knocking down a straw man again.

You are but one example of a phenomenon; thus the "we".

Peter, stop setting up strawmen and I'll stop knocking them down.

Lots of 6 minute increments being wasted here when they can be billed out! Or are they?

Multitasking.

Thought it was 15 and 30 minute increments? Do lawyers still bill out in 6 minute increments?

A consignor sends a card to Mastro
Mastro auctions the card
Mastro ships the card to the buyer
Mastro doesn't pay the consignor
The new owner of the card just auctioned it on ebay
The new new owner now has the card
Mastro continues to not pay the consignor

This completely sucks. While its funny to watch the apologists in this thread try to find ways to justify, explain and/or lessen the impact of mastro/legendary's actions -- it isn't one bit funny what mastro/legendary is doing to the consignors or what they are doing to the hobby.

Shame on mastro/legendary.
