Hi Everyone,
This company has sold game used items in the past. I would like to share my recent horrible experience with Rick Kohl. I recently won an auction on EBAY through this company. The item was signed Norman Rockwell Original drawing. The auction had no reserve. I won the auction fair and square at around $400.00. A few days later a representative called me from Broadway Rick's Strike Zone told me that they made a mistake on the auction and that it wasn't suppose to be on sale. I told this rep that I had won the auction fair and square and that there was no reserve. After I hang up the phone, Rick (the owner) called me and said that he will not sell the item for $400.00, He said this item is worth $4,000.00 and that he wasn't aware that this auction was listed. He said that I should be COMPASSIONATE and to just back down on the deal. He said he will not sell this at the price that I won it for. So I told him that if I had won the auction at $4K if he would have gone through with the deal and his response was most likely. I do not know if anyone had a similar experience with this company. I asked one of the senior members on this board for his advice and I was told that there is basically nothing I can do, but to leave a negative feedback on EBAY. Any other suggestions to legally pursue this guy is welcome. I do not know what else to do at this point. A copy of their invoice is provided below. Thanks for your time.
