I have been in direct contact with Proxibid and I emailed them Ebay's "Banned COA" list two days ago.
After a lot of prodding, Proxibid did remove the catalog of garbage listed by LLP Auctions, Tampa FL. I also emailed them about a few other sellers whose items should be removed. |

WOW. I think I'll use that technique for the locals.
Be on the lookout for a rebranding COA party. BYOPOS autograph.

I want to thank everyone again. I sell on there often and occasionally I sell an autograph. The prices of my autographs suffer because a Ty Cobb signature that I claim is worth $1000 on a bad day sells for $760 because $200 fakes are everywhere.

James, Auctionzip does not run or provide a platform for auctions, They are just a listing service, a new-school classified if you will. It does make it easier to find the auctions selling this stuff.
I just got back from Butterfield Auction in Zephryhills, FL. I spoke with the management and voiced my concerns about the CSC and YMC COA's on items they had consigned. I left them the eBay banned list, along with a suggestion they check out net54. They acknowledged the issue and said they will explicitly disavow the COA's, and inform bidders that the authenticity of the items are in question and to bid (or not bid) accordingly. I don't believe they could pull the items as there is no proof that the consignor knows they are forgeries. I also asked them to give consideration to refusing future consignments of this nature. To their credit, they were very open to the info, as most legitimate businesses are. That they even gave me the time of day, speaks to their integrity. http://www.butterfieldsauctions.com/...gi?butterfield

Jim I understand auctionzip.com they have a service called auctionzip live that is similar to proxibid.com. That is what I was referring to. If you can get the bidding platform to stop allowing these items then you do not have to go after every single auction house. I believe that maybe you have not looked at AZ in awhile they surely have a platform and it is about as big as proxibid.com.

Sorry, looking at my comment, it sounds a little condescending. I meant it to be informative.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Auctionzip Live sort of like a phone bid? By my thinking, Proxibid is like eBay and should have a responsibilty of content. Auctionzip Live is like the telephone company. Just a conduit. Don't get me wrong, it would be great if they stepped up on this. I just don't think they will see the issue as being in their purview.

Jim auctionzip live is live online realtime bidding. You can see and hear the auction in some cases. I know because I have sold on there. It operates just like proxibid.com no real major differences.

Deertick I understand your feelings toward this auction house. The problem is that many of them will seem really genuine and wanting to do the right thing, but they sell the items anyways. As an auctioneer it does not matter whatsoever if the consignor knows they are fake or not. I research them, I find them to be fake or I authenticate them 3rd party and they fail it is my butt if I sell them. My reputation is worth much more than some garbage fakes. I tried to reason with this LLP auctioneer that he could play around and lose his license for this, but he chose not to respond to me.

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).

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.

Wow, talk about having a big brass pair. I started to question why Proxibid would allow such a thing even with full disclosure, but I guess it is the next-best-thing to hanging a big "don't trust these guys" sign on their auction without actually banning them altogether.

Thank you, James. We do what we can. As far as I am concerned, they (Proxibid) deserve all of the free advertising we can give them.

Unfortunately I can tell you as an auctioneer that most bidders do not read the terms and conditions. In online auctions many of them do not even read the descriptions.
