And, would you be able to tell us if that's how it works with each and every one of your auction house clients?

Jeff,

In defense of Bob, I asked a question about 4 minutes after his post and he hasn't responded yet. You'll have to wait.

Bob has a history of coming on the board briefly. Defending one of his paying customers and then disappearing again for long periods of time.

And while we're at it, while I understand the point the original poster was trying to make, the title of this thread is ridiculous. That's like saying "It's not poor Jeffrey Dahmer's fault! It's those 17 stupid people who allowed themselves to be killed and eaten."

This explains why my "Blame the children, not the pedophiles" bumper stickers haven't been selling. Another failed business venture.

Maybe I should get into the auction business. I hear it's pretty lucrative if you do it right.

That and the lack of punctuation makes it look like an e.e. cummings' poem or a line from "Flowers for Algernon."

just curious, is this your first auction with Legendary? have they used you before, or are you a recent attempt by them to gain back trust?

Jeffrey Dahmer did not kill ME or anyone I know. Therefore I have no problem with him.

Plus it wasn't like he targeted me in particular. He caught and boiled anyone who wandered by.

In fairness to Bob Freedman, he only provides the vehicle or software. The auctioneer makes the choice to be honest or misuse bidder's trust. A dishonest auctioneer could pay someone to create whatever code he wants.
