Memory Lane Gehrig expectation vs reality

[Snowman]

There's been a new development in this saga with Memory Lane. In response to me posting this thread, they have revoked my bidding privileges. Clearly, they'd like to make a statement. If you criticize them publicly, they will punish you.

Thanks for showing your true colors Memory Lane. GFY.

Travis,

Sorry to hear this is how Memory Lane decided to treat you after their obvious misrepresentation of the card in question.

Facts: Memory Lane lists a card in their auction that doesn't show the obvious multiple creases and wrinkles. Travis receives the card, sees the multiple creases and wrinkles, requests a refund, sends the card back, receives a refund without any communication or at least a minimum "regret any inconvenience." Memory Lane then relists the image of the same card again, is aware of this thread, adds a new image of the card showing the creases and wrinkles, then bans Travis from bidding because he shared his story.

Oh sure, Travis is the bad guy in this scenario. Shame on you Travis

My generation, we didn't have the internet or social media. This is what people do today, and I think it's a good thing. My generation, when situations like this occurred, the business always did right by the customer. Businesses cared about what people thought about their business. It was their reputation on the line.

Memory Lanes lack of professionalism and maturity is evident in this situation. Oh, and by the way, great job Memory Lane, you now have one less customer.

so people will learn that not putting them on blast and waiting to see if get a refund back before all of that i guess is their lesson..

i still think if someone feels that didnt get an accurate card and it cost them a few k, and a refund was not first given, i dont think they would care if prevented from bidding again as long as they got their money back

If so, why would he ever bid w/ them again?

There's alot of other quality auction houses to deal with that will appreciate his business

Not everywhere. This is still a great hobby with many great people and businesses. But I do see that there are definitely generational differences of opinion in how things should be handled, that's for sure.

I was born in the United States of America. I now sometimes feel like I live in the United States of Excuses.

LOL, what did you expect to happen? I have been in the hobby for decades and this is usually how it works out.
