Things feel a bit different from the auction house side than it did a few months back when you were just a consumer like the rest of us, huh Robert?

Just teasin' a bit amigo...

to tell ya the truth michael, not really. the same occasional healthy debates with rudy who btw is one in a billion, the same great email exchanges with my regular forum buddies (minus one, too bad really) and the same ridiculous addiction i get to this board whenever i start jumping into debates! when you and i start bumping heads again then it will be exactly the same!

if you read my last post i think you'll find that it was...

No, I was talking about items having "Photomatched" in the description, with no photo to back that up. That probably should have been done before the auctions even started.

Doesnt matter anyways. I dont plan on bidding, especially when your consigners etc etc come on here and dont act quite as professional a potential bidder would like. Kind of puts a sour taste in your mouth.

again, if you read my post i think you will find that the matches were completed before the auction - i did them.

For the record, you'll recall we never once bumped heads until you jumped the fence to the 'for profit' side of the hobby, my friend. Once you go from fellow hobbyist to businessman we go from fellow hobbyist to potential customer. Things change. Tis inevitable.

I've never seen an auction house use a Getty Image as a photomatch, probably due to copyright protection.

Yeah, you dont have to. Just list that the item is photomatched by getty image #22224445996 and you're golden.

Lelands auctioned off a walter payton that was "photomatched"

Lelands offerered numerous photo matches.....and hocus pokus it goes for 50k...

moral of the story...

1. marketing 101..listen to what your customers want

2. prove to your customers that your item is 100% legit

3. reap profits

seams simple to me

WOW.....did THIS thread ever get edited.

I spent my lunch hour today reading through it, and I have to say it was quite the bomb. I am sad to see a LOT of the posts have been removed.

I guess the site is under mandate from the Obama administration. We're losing everything else, I guess it was only a matter of time before the "freedom of speech" thingie went to.


Um, sorry B-T-P-H for the political reference....

I truly wish you would loose your freedom of speech.

You know what Suicide? There's no need for an apology. I have been going through a lot of personal stuff lately. Illness in the family, I lost my job a few months ago. I've had to sell much of my collection, just to make ends meet. I wanted to keep this forum free of political debate....but what the hell, Americans do have a freedom of speech. I guess I do take things too seriously. I realize the whole country has hit tough times. I am a subversive radical at heart, so I always encourage folks to question authority. Keep up the comedy and those clever little animicons. Just jokes between collectors. This forum would not be the same if you lost your freedom of speech.
your pal,
