CAA "Cooking the BidBook"???
These mother****ers a CAA have finally got on my **** list. I have
heard bad things about them for years, but never gave it much thought. I placed a bid on the Long Beach auction which closed on the afternoon of the 22nd. The evening of the 22nd, the PRICES REALIZED were posted, and I was the winner of the lot, at a good price, below my max. bid. This morning I took a look at some other items, and they have CHANGED the price realized on that lot, to just above my high bid, and I am no longer the winner of the lot. After 4 or 5 calls, numerous long holds, and finally getting someone with half a brain (I guess...), they now tell me that it was a TYPO. They now say a Phone Bidder won the lot ... How ****ING CONVIENIENT.... I have been around this business almost 30 years, and I REMEMBER the days when I could call the auction houses, who shall remain nameless, and find out what the high book bid was. I was doing a LOT of business as a dealer then, and the auction houses loved my $$$, if you get my drift. Now that I am retired, and a small player, they dont have to cater to me any longer. I cant prove they did anything wrong, but YOU think about it.. I mean, the PRICE REALIZED for the CLOSED AUCTION ITEM was POSTED on their website. That SHOULD be the final price.. But....???? YOU Think about it... I will NEVER bid with CAA again, unless I receive that lot at MY WINNING BID.. Damned *******S.... |

Someone over on
the Collectors Universe currency message board refers to CAA as "the evil empire" Apparently he raised a fuss with them about something and they banned him for life from bidding in their auctions. I have heard other things about CAA... |
