Well if they're banning people I guess it means they are planning on continuing.

Putting on my tin foil hat here:

What if the "elite collectors" who "own" Crazy Uncle that Aaron is just the "President" of were in fact Joe Orlando and other higher ups at PSA/Collectors Universe?

I’m not quarreling with anyone’s bad experiences, but mine in bidding on items was a very good experience.

It's very possible...

Below is a list (off the top of my head- I'm sure there's more) of identical business practices which Crazy Uncle and PSA share...

* A complete lack of communication from management on key issues and concerns
* Disappearing when public issues need to be addressed
* Lack of any follow-up measures to help the customer
* Unthinkable incompetence/ineptitude at doing the one thing they are supposed to do
* Failure to honor their commitments (PSA with its supposed "Guarantee" / CU with enacting its reserves)
* Apparent disdain for it's customer base
* Complete failure to ship the customers' possessions back to them in a timely manner
* Inherent lies and false statements which hide actual facts
* Banning of dissatisfied, truth-telling customers

Crazy Uncle and PSA run their respective businesses the same exact way. Since PSA is thriving despite employing these "unusual" business tactics, perhaps they myopically believe it can work in other arenas, like online auctions.

I would not be at all surprised if Orlando and Sloan were revealed to be the owners. Collectors Universe (CU) and Crazy Uncle (CU)... Just a "crazy" coincidence?
I think not.

I think not.

A close friend of mine works with women recovering from abusive relationships. He says overall the emotional abuse does way more long term damage than the physical. I can’t help but notice some of the overlaps in our hobby. Some of the abuse that collectors endure only to run back to the same companies because of “stuff” is unnerving sometimes....and the companies (abusers) never change their ways because the victims keep coming back, so why would they.

Has anyone posted on CU about Crazy Uncle auctions and how bad they are? I think you would get a your answer quickly. If I were Dave, Id start the lawsuit in your jurisdiction and get a default judgement. Then go inforce it at their location. Might get some media coverage on it as well to see how far down the snake hole goes.

FFS the internet where every moron can post their batshit crazy conspiracy and act like it has any merit. No chance they are owners.

You seemed very proud to have started the charge back in the first place, before receiving all your packages. Wasn't sure why you left out your response on your follow-up.

I have no relationship with Crazy Uncle Auctions. I have even posted negative things about them in the past, including this thread. Doesn't seem like something an owner would do.

I am a small time guy, with a very small collection, and sell most of my cards through COMC.
