Proxibid Adopts Banned COA List Similar to EBAY

I also gave Proxibid too much credit in the beginning when they removed the catalog of LLP Auctions. Proxibid allowed LLP Auctions to re-list that garbage an they have yet to remove any of the other listings that I suggested they remove.

The only company that was cooperative was Aaron Joseph & Company, who voluntarily removed all of their "CSC Collectibles" auctions and returned them to the consignor (CSC Collectibles).

I just got done talking to proxibid.com and they were very helpful. They really have not had time to put the banned list in action yet. This info that I gave is not even out there to the public yet, just to the sellers. That being said I was told they will look into this today and they will likely pull this sale. The operator told me that even she was not happy with these listings. I told her that it does not take a trained eye to tell these are fakes. I spoke to the Proxibid Risk Management team. I really believe that they do not want these items on their site. I also explained that I have tried to reason with this company through emails and phone calls and I have been ignored. I also informed her that the next step that I take is to go to the Florida Auctioneer Licensing Board to try and have his license taken away.

James, your efforts are appreciated.

Unfortunately, I view Proxibid a bit differently than you do, but let's wait and see what actions they take or don't take.

Chris I think that the Florida Auctioneer Licensing probably sees fraud as a problem for their licensees. I have my own auction this weekend so it will be next week before I get to talk with them about this.

The Florida State Business Board (or whatever the name is) should see about fraud in their state. It seems that all the stink in this hobby is emanating from the state of beaches and orange juice.

Apparently, once again, you cannot bid on LLP Auctions.
Here again is what the listings state:

PASSED
This lot was not sold.

There is no place bid button on the auction pages.

You may be on the old link or a cached copy? I just checked and still going strong.

I also just finished filling out the DBPR 0070 - Uniform Complaint Form for the State of Florida Dept of Business and Professional Regulation. The only submission is to MAIL it!!!
