Re: grey flannel is a joke
To the moderators,
O.K., I see you have removed the two posts, the first one by Sarahsdad that got me angry because he keeps coming at me with his "skirt" comments, and my subsequent responce.
I understand, and (of course) respect your actions.
But now, I am asking that you revolk his posting privilages with a stern warning to knock off his personal attacks towards me. He hasn't the spine to confront me as a man......he has to do it his little girl way......by making attacks via his postings on whatever thread he deems is yet another opportunity to take a stab at me.
Please email me and let me know if my request will be honored......or by all means feel free to post it here. I have nothing to hide from my fellow members.
Thank you,
Steve

Re: grey flannel is a joke
clarification........."temporarily revolk" his posting privilages.
I believe even spineless forum members who have issues deserve another chance.

Re: grey flannel is a joke
First of all I would like to point out half what you just posted you failed to mention in your OP.
So I was going based on your original post.
You did not mention you asked for the letter 3 weeks previous to auction ending.
You did not mention it took 5 weeks for you to actually get the letter.
and even though it did take a while for you to get it which you probably are right that they may have rushed to get one even though they didn't have one!!! But that doesn't mean they didn't.
So again my comment was based on your original post.

Re: grey flannel is a joke
Ok your response was lengthy so I will admit you lost me after a while.
I am not sure if you were referring to me lacking common sense???
You said I did not read that he bid on it??? I did not read that it came 2 weeks later???
Did you even read my response or were you typing blindly??
I brought up both cases in my initial response.
I did not side with anyone, i made my comment based on the original persons post and explained to him by bidding is a form of an agreement on a contract. So yes there are legalities to doing such things.
as for the +1 comment I am not sure if that is the other members way of agreeing with the lashing out, but if either one read the original post you would understand where I was coming from.

Re: grey flannel is a joke
I saw where you were coming from. Is Grey Flannel a joke? Could be. Should they have sent the scan of the LOA sooner? Sure! But the fact is, the bid was placed knowing the rules. Why not wait until the letter has been read before placing the bid? THAT is common sense, IMO.
+1 for Suave, the bidder needs to take some responsibility here.

Re: grey flannel is a joke
I was in a similar situation with an auction house a number of years back. The auction house that I dealt with has had a somewhat spotty reputation over the past few years but be that as it may, I readily admit, I did not do my due diligence and made a mistake. I placed a bid based on the auction description of an LOA and subsequently found the LOA was not what it was reported to be with some discrepencies. I had placed a bid which then put me into a binding contract with the auction house as clearly stated in their rules. The bottom line is, do your homework and be as completely sure and positive about what you are bidding on prior to placing a bid. I learned from that lesson and at the end of the day I blame auction houses who do a lousy job writing descriptions and don't do their own homework putting suspect items into auctions but it falls back on the bidder to be absolutely certain regarding the bid before placing it. The rules are the rules and once you bid, you are often out of luck and out of options not to pay for the item.
In that regard, you cannot blame the auction house or auction houses as if they did not have some measure in place regarding the winning bid being a binding contract, how often would they be left holding the bag due to buyers remorse. Now if they are purposely being deceitful or misleading that is another story entirely but bottom line, don't bid until you have every possible document, fact, etc. completed on your part.
I personally search each auction as soon as I know they are going live. I will not even consider a bid in the auction unless I can see all of the documents, LOA's, etc. and then attempt to photo match, check with industry sources etc. and make sure I am completely comfortable with the item prior to placing a bid. That is just me but I have not had a problem in a number of years because of this personal approach.Brett Herman

Re: grey flannel is a joke
I obtained an item from the most recent GF auction. Upon close inspection of the piece I had questions regarding the authentication and missing paperwork. My polite and cordial inquiries were never answered. I was very disappointed the company did not take the time to communicate with me.
