I'm sure he did "win" the items. Think all the bids were counted?

I know of at least one item for which that was the case. I sold a 1929 Yankees signed ball through Mastro a number of years ago. A friend wanted it, but did not win. He noticed that he had entered a higher bid than the winner, and was told his had inadvertently not been counted. When he (an attorney) threatened legal action, the sale was nullified, the ball returned to me, and he was banned. (Surprise, surprise.) I know of this case because it was my item. Do you think it's the only one?

Well of course I would be speculating as to whether there were other instances or it was just a mistake, but that is troubling.

Mastro's "rules" are somewhat laughable as anyone who has ever consigned with them surely knows. The rules are the rules until they are not the rules - and the rules often change on the fly. Peter are you suggesting that Mastro employees were allowed to bid on their own items during an auction while they also learned who else had bid on the lots and what those bids were? Jeepers, that would make me mighty red in the face if I were an honest Mastro bidder.

If that happened that would not be a good thing. All I was saying is that I could envision a scenario where an employee genuinely tried to win an item consigned by a third party.

I can only speak for the auction house I work for. Sometimes, the same item has been auctioned twice due to non-payment in the first auction. We then will go to the consignor and either A.) return the item or B.) run the lot again a second time.
