Marvin, that is weird. Must have been a mixup.

You're right Joe, maybe it was, but I didn't want to spend my time trying to convince whomever that I could actually afford a lot or two. It's okay though, I let it go No biggie

Buy from a well known dealer who will testify you paid your bills, and that should count as a good reference. Perhaps you've already bought from such a person on this board.

The auction houses want evidence that you're a buyer who legitimately pays your bills.

[drc]

Pay me $30 and I'll be a reference. I'll testify you paid your bill. $40 for a glowing reference.

[drc]

No, no, no. Just joking. $50 for a glowing reference.

Well, I sent them an email, and never got a response.

I still say call them if you really want to bid, much more personal.

There are many reputable auction houses and I would definitely go with one of the larger ones, they usually get the most money for your items because of their exposure. You are just going to need to do some due-diligence on your end by calling them to see who will give you the best commission.

I'm looking to bid, not consign.
