That is a great idea! I loved to rate them from Dennis Purdy's old publication VCBC. I think you would need to add more auction comanies to the list. You should only be allowed to vote once. |

I am waiting to see if 1 or 5 is best then I am going to have a write in ballot for my own auction and rate me best . Seriously, not a bad idea but of course I don't think I will participate due to my position on the board. Have fun... |

Good idea, but I think I will refrain from voting as well. I'm too scared to hurt people's feelings. I mean, I'm not sure how sensitive Barry's feelings are, but I know if I wasn't even in the top 3, I'd be questioning myself. That's only because I'm one of those people who are always second guessing people's opinions about me. Barry has made personal accommodations for me before when I failed to read his auction directions, and he certainly didn't need to do that. I doubt some of the larger auction houses would do that. I think this is a great idea and am interested to see the results, however. Perhaps this will help me look into which auction house to start paying more attention to. Like Leon, though for different reasons, I think I'll pull up a chair and enjoy this thread. |

A little sensitive, but people should say how they feel. Of course, this has been up all day and not one person has voted, so my guess is this survey will lay a dodo egg. |

I think Bruce means to take the five categories into account, and then list the auction houses in your order of preference. If you do it the other way then yes, you must have a spreadsheet. |

One category should measure perceived fraud perpetrated by the auction house. |

Here it is, sure. Certainly when one measures auction house as a whole, possibility of being a fraud victim is taken into account. |

How about present perceived fraud, past perceived fraud or both past and present perceived fraud? Personally, I don't see me making a grid as I already spend too much time on the board... |

Well, if an auction house has thought to have engaged in fraud chances are most would assume the practice will continue into the future. My point is that certain auction houses have great cards, great packaging, great bidding platforms but I'm certain have engaged in rampant shill bidding and other fraud. Obviously my ratings would be high for the former categories and low for the fraud category. Perceived fraud is certainly a more significant category than, say, packaging. (And no, I'm not referring to Sloate Auction. ) |

Thanks Jim, but I've done graded card auctions for years. And I wouldn't consider 5, 6, and 7 off grade, but I understand where you are coming from. |

The fact that those two would sell directly to you Jim instead of running legit auctions on the cards would keep from ever consigning with either. Just who's cards are they selling to you direct anyway instead of auctioning? |

They aren't the only auction houses that do this, and sometimes it's in the consigners best interest to have a quick guaranteed sale brokered by the house. Additionally, the lot may be house owned, so they can do as they wish. |

Anthony- i actually have little to no issue with auction houses doing this...my intent was to simply let Jim know that i think we are trying to "grade" auction houses on their ability to run auctions, not selling direct on the side. |
