Thanks for all your efforts. All very enjoyable and a great addition to and innovation within the hobby. Again, my thanks. <3

It was. Look at those T&A.

G'nite. Doubtless talk again tomorrow.

Enjoy some unfettered fact free trolling

Yes. Look at the T&A.

and let's not forget . . .

4. Bidding by the consignor or his agents is permitted within the auction houses "February 2016 Signature" T & A

Congratulations. Great art and back story.

Thanks folks. Worthwhile contributions to the debate. Not.

Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid

by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in “Good Faith.”

 

This from February 2016 Signature terms and conditions. David

Hi. This is major. So, it's not simply the seller/consignor but also his or her agents who can legally bid.

So mike was working within the rules.

Now all the witch hunters can pull up their tents and off.

In light of recent events where Burkey has admitted to shilling many consignments through one or more third parties, do your organizations plan on accepting future consignments from Mike? Do your organizations plan on allowing him to bid in your auctions?

 

Based on Heritage practices I don't see why they would have a problem with this type of behavior.

Are you serious ? Shilling thru 3rd parties is not permitted - albeit undetectable. Shilling by the seller is permitted if incorporated in the T&A 's.

Hello CGC Forum Members,

 

We have answered many of you privately but we wanted to post here for the rest of you to read. With the exception of a few items of lower value (approximately $300 or less), everything Mike Burkey consigned with ComicConnect had a reserve. Those lots either hit reserve and sold or did not hit reserve and remained unsold. Mike Burkey did not bid on any of his consignments in ComicConnect auctions. Furthermore, the ComicConnect site prevents such occurrences from happening. If you have any further questions please contact us. Thank you.

excellent point. Duuhhh I shan't repeat myself

On reflection, didn't mike say that his buddies did actually follow thru and paid & then he later picked up the tab plus from his friend. So . . . HA would have absolutely no reason to query a " paid for winning auction". Hail H...A

Good point.

Todd from Heritage has responded on the "Wierd HA results" thread. Good unambiguous clarification. I'll be back bidding with them.

Boo hoo voodoo has been asked to and has left the forums. Feel the love arising. Thank goodness.

I could be wrong but I believe they will act responsibly.

 

I hope so, I really like all the guys at HA, Clink and CC.

 

By the way, as a small business owner myself...I know opportunity when I see it. Sometimes it's about making money, other times about improving market share and presence in the community you serve. This is opportunity knocking (ya hear it ComicLink and ComicConnect??)

 

Get ahead of your competitors and win the adoration of the hobby by leading instead of following. Talk to your lawyers and figure out how much you can disclose, hopefully everything re: Mike and his bidders, and make the statement. Then watch your competitors follow (really shuffle behind you, into the light) and the hobby be a better place immediately (but not for Mike and his proxy-bidding friends.)

Hey boo hoo

So far you have created 104?messages across the threads.

Give it a rest.

We've got your repetitive vindictive spiel.

I feel sorry for you. Whoops. Typo. I feel sorry for us having to read your s . . .
