Did you consign comics to ComicConnect's December auction?

[Heronext]

Hi folks, I'm interested in comparing notes with anyone who consigned lots to CC's December auction. Did you think the site slowness (which they explained as a DDOS attack) affected hammer prices beyond the one day where the auction was rescheduled? Did you contact ComicConnect with your concerns? Did you receive any response or relief?

 

P.S. I understand they are members here, and that they have many friends here. This isn't a "slam CC thread". I have reached out to them a couple of times with no response, so I'm looking to touch base with and compare notes with other consignors.

 

Please PM me - thanks

I consigned a few books and even with the hiccup I realized very strong prices on my books, so I really have no complaints other than the minor inconvenience the disruption in service caused.

Hi,

 

Yes I had 5 Buck Rogers daily strip / Rick Yeager Originals that were sold, I have commented on the slowness / no access before here and I talked to them during the auction and emailed after, they acknowledged they had problems but they have not offered anything which I did not expect. I think I could have gotten higher prices if all bidders could have bid. I think mine were on the first night. Most of the time I could not get access.

 

They did respond to my telephone call and emails.

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

do they waive the consignment fee considering you press books for them?

I consigned books and prices were affected. They went for 3-4x last GPA.

Consigned two big books and was happy with the results regardless of whatever happened to the auction site service. They have my business at full force.

I had a dozen items. I was concerned about the problems, but Vincent was quick to respond to emails and texts. I did not feel that the hammer prices were affected by the problems, in fact 6 of the 12 went for more than I estimated. The other 6 were within 15% of my estimates.
