Can we stop the name calling? It is juvenile. I have seen it happen nonstop in this thread, and it has consistently been from one side.
Your buddy is the one who posted the funny haha meme calling someone a liar. So you all can do what you please but I can't make a joke that you guys are the same person when obviously it's not true? How is that name calling?

@LamboLGM right, but you realize Dinesh and I are not the same person, nor were we addressing the same issue, right?
Funny, I could have sworn you guys were the same person! lmao
Ok, my beef is with the omnipresent Mr. Dinesh not you if you didn't claim that Felix shilled the auction. After all, the one thing we know is you weren't there. Not like Dinesh. And since he was there, he knows ALL!

@LamboLGM I’ve not said anything about you, and frankly didn’t mention Felix until he decided to share. Even then, as I stated before, it’s not my story to tell. I did not want the underbidder to get sucked into drama without his choosing, so I remained silent about the details, addressing Felix only.
However, when Felix started bashing first appearances collectors, a very strong subset of his collecting base, as gamblers, speculators, rookie card chasers, and not true collectors, then I will engage.
I posted a very specific solicitation from Felix himself where he hypes this very thing then turns around and lists at higher than normal pricing (which is what this thread is about). When you mock your customer base then turn around and try to say “just kidding this is awesome… buy, buy, buy”, I have an issue with that. I have spoken with Felix directly about this long before I ever posted publicly, but when he said those thing this morning, I am going to call out the duplicity.
Again, I shared all of this with Felix directly, not in the shadows or behind keyboards like many here have chosen. Felix continues to accuse me of being some comic art investor who is buying for profit. It’s pretty easy to look at my CAF and see what I have bought and kept. That accusation fits his narrative, and is not something I appreciate but sticks and stones…
Perhaps you should go back and reread everything with fresh eyes.
Since I was the one who was the winning bidder, every accusation Dinesh makes towards Felix either directly or indirectly applies to me because guess what, I was the guy doing it. and btw, since Dinesh was there (i seem to have read that lol) he would also know the only thing that remotely could be called shilling was by the underbidder who kept his paddle up all the way up to around 8K. That was my memory of it and the underbidder, who is a friend of mine, mentioned it himself when he called me to chat today. I don't think I even started to bid until it got to around 8000 to 9000 give or take.

Fair enough? So sling some bs around and make up stuff that didn't happen and then say as proof "First, I was there, this is not what happened." when Dinesh wasn't anywhere near me at anytime before, during and after the auction. But yeah, now lets end it without discussing the veracity of the allegations. sure. I see how you roll.
So I ask again, Dinesh, were you in my lap when Albert texted me at 9 pm and saw what was on my phone?
Maybe he was!!! HOLY MOLEY! I totally missed Dinesh's FIRST APPEARANCE in my lap!!!!!!
I heard that was a thing! Shoot, I should have NFT that!!!
and NO, I won't let CGC slab my lap! you wise guys!

So I guess me saying I was next to the underbidder was lost to you I was there when he was told if you bid again you will win which I thought wow that’s not cool
I see, you're the guy sitting next to underbidder who he helped with advice on two auctions you did bid on? I know him and spoke to him just today. I was the winning bidder via proxy on this piece and sat far away from you. So I don't know who the heck told him such a thing. Maybe as a joke? Or talking out of his A? Because outside of me, nobody else knew what I had authority to bid up to and believe me, that wouldn't have been true whatsoever.

What is hilarious to me is that no one called you out. Yet, you felt you had to add all this justifications for your actions. BTW, I saw you walk to the underbidder and heard your BS answer. Also you were standing right next to the winner the whole time.
If the shoe Fits!!!
Ooooh another "I was there" guy. Felix was not standing next to me. Why? because I was sitting in the row with empty seats next to me. Felix was nowhere near me. In fact, I was wondering where in tarnation was he while I was bidding.

Second, Whatever the narrative, you should know better than to bid on pieces from artists you represent. It's a bad look in any circumstance and erodes customer trust.
Dinesh_s:
You were there? Really? Were you sitting on my lap looking into my smartphone when Albert texted me? Were you also there with me and Shelton Drum and his employee as we entered in Albert's credit card information to pay for the piece? Were you also with me as I frantically tried to figure out with Shelton on how the hell was I going to get this humongous 20x30 painting back to Albert on a Sunday when FedEx is closed? You may have been in the room but that does not mean you know what the happened. I don't know you well but I do know what you look like and you weren't anywhere around me when Albert texted me. So I'm not sure on what basis are you and Xatari making these reckless accusations about me.
You don't even know me. I am just a collector. I'm not a dealer nor someone with a world famous collection. I have zero ownership in any dealer or entity that sells or deals art. I have been a collector of comic art since 1987. I've been around for most of the growth and development of this hobby. Maybe not Pete Koch OG but maybe in the wave after that. I've seen it all. I've heard about all the various fads (some may say scams) and goings on that my collecting brethren have engaged in like this or that hot artist, indy boon, weird sketch themes, getting OA published pages colored, first appearance, and lately mystery sketches (I'm still not sure how that works!). I've never indulged in them but at least I understood why someone would. This whole shilling up a piece and then actually winning it is a new one on me. Why would anyone do that? and why would you and Xatari so quickly think that I would engage in this? Like who thinks of this stuff??? Yes, I am friends with Felix and help him at shows. I am also friends with Albert and help him at shows. Other reps I've helped at shows include Spencer Beck at the Artists Choice and Jason Schachter at Essential Sequential. I am friendly with and respected by most dealers because I do what I promise. A lifetime of paying on time and honoring my commitments has afforded me that respect and trust. This wasn't even the first time this year I've helped a friend bid on something at an auction he couldn't be at. Don't we all do that? I don't get why, unless you two have an agenda with Felix, you would bend over backwards and accuse me of being dishonest about a simple proxy bid that we all have done for friends.
I don't have anything but my reputation. Many of the posters here know me. They know I'm honest to a fault sometimes (ok always) people off with my opinion. For you two to go around making statements like "I was there, this is not what happened" is reckless since you were NOT there with me when I was asked by Albert on my phone to bid. I was the one who did the auction bidding. I was the one who went to the table to pay. Nobody else. Felix had nothing to do with it at any point other than posting it on IG before the auction. And now he's being accused of something only because I'm his friend. and THAT is really awful .
I can back up what I'm saying with my phone text records and both Albert and Heroescon have receipts of payment. I also have various witnesses who can attest to various parts of the events as things unfolded down to finally finding an art mule who drove to bring the art back for him to give to Albert at another con later this month. None of this was planned. If it were, I'd have been far better prepared.
