I saw this thread yesterday when it first posted and didn't comment, but after reading this reply from glynparson I feel the need to. Not sure what the cryptic "friend" comment is about, but I wanted to comment on the overall service of the company.

While I have never consigned with them, I have bid with Hunt for several years now and have had GREAT experiences. I bid not only for myself, but also a few associates who don't have the time or ability to do online auctions.

Yes, their website is a bit behind the times, but to me their customer service is as good as it gets and more than makes up for a slightly un-userfriendly site. Kelsey (previously Daisy) is always extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with.

As an example, when I won several lots in their August auction, one lot arrived with fewer items in it than described in the catalog. I emailed Kelsey and she replied promptly with an apology and said that they would look into it. The next day she called and said they would be sending a refund for the items I was missing. The check arrived a few days later.

My point is that they are one of the good ones and even if something goes wrong they try hard to make it right. I think they provide a great service and hope they're around our hobby for a long time.

I can tell you I know many others that have told me of similar experience with Hunt. Apparently Sunny doesn't know a lot about cards, from what I hear, and does a piss poor job of lotting. I could better handle this excuse if the terrible lotting did not occur only after sales in the previous 2 auctions exceeded the cash advance they had given me for a large collection, sales to be spread over 4 auctions. I stand by my disappointment and I too would be ecstatic if I won some off their lots. I was treated piss poor as a consignor but I too have always had A+ experience as a buyer and hell I was one of the few dealers that actually spoke well of the shows last year, but the way I feel I was screwed over IF I ever choose to sell anything again it will be with B&L, Mile High or Rea, or Brian Dwyer's company or Keith vari if I had memorabilia. Also want to add for Nodders or Harltlands, heck any vintage sports figure I reccomend Lou and John from inside the Park. Fortunately I dont see me selling anything for a long time. For the record they were extremelly nice to me through the beginning sales process, but when I voiced concerns all I heard back were crickets. I think they would handle your one or 2 item sale fantastically I just would not have them sell any collections for me is my opinion.
