Court Rejects Class Action Lawsuit Against RR Auction

[blrrauction]

March 13, 2015 Press Release:

Lawyers for Michael Johnson, the son of an oil industry tycoon, effectively admitted defeat today in Santa Barbara County Superior Court after Judge Donna Geck issued a tentative ruling denying Johnson’s motion for class action certification in a lawsuit filed in October 2012 in which Johnson alleged that $84,000 in autographed items he’d purchased through R&R were later found to be inauthentic.

In what R&R’s attorney’s predict will be a fatal blow to Johnson’s suit, now on its second set of lawyers, Judge Geck issued a six-page tentative ruling Wednesday denying class action status to the case “Because of the findings that the class is not ascertainable, the class is not numerous and individual issues predominate over common issues.”

Hey, Bobby. I'm a long-time RR customer--since the 1990s. But now I've got a question: what happened to the lifetime authenticity guarantee?

The guy can still sue on his own...just doesn't quality as a class action if I read the post right...

I wondered about that, but it said they were willing to take the items back and issue a full refund, but he didn't want to send them back.

Thank you for asking because I realize there is confusion out there with regards to our guarantee

As long as you are the original purchaser, you are still afforded a lifetime guarantee on consigning your items with RR Auction. If an item was accompanied by a Full 3rd party letter, you have 5 years to challenge the 3rd party findings.

I guess there is no lifetime guarantee, then.

I have bought from RR in the past. I am just looking for clarification from the company. When I purchased my item I also elected to purchase a TPA letter. I have an RR letter and a TPA letter and I am the original buyer. Do I have a lifetime guarantee from you?

Yes.

This should make for an interesting test of a lifetime guarantee.
