Re: American Memorabilia - Solicitation Practices

Thanks for the additional feedback and information. I didn't realize that this practice was common among auction houses and companies. I have learned a lot and I thank everyone for their feedback.

Dave,

Thanks for the update and your insight. I very much enjoy reading your posts.

Did you ever get a chance to respond to Rudy's question for you on the David Ortiz 2006 jersey thread? For your convenience, here is the link: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ead.php?t=4448 ... I have learned a great deal from your insight and expertise and I look forward to reading more of your informative posts.

As for AMI, some of us are close friends with Victor and his crew and some of us are not. Some of us have a financial stake in AMI's success, and some of us do not. Likewise, some of us are comfortable with their business practices, and some of us are not. I would bet that these three variables are highly correlated.

Thanks again for sharing your conclusion about the status of this thread.

Reid, it is an odd practice, but even if it is against the eBay rules, it is a practice that is done in this industry. People will end auctions, ask questions about buying, etc. through the eBay system because of the exposure it brings.

I do not cry every time someone drives over the speed limit. It happens, and it is against the rules also.

Does eBay approve? No, they hate losing sales commissions. Do they turn their other cheek on the practice? Yes, because some of the customers do spend good money and they don't want to lose their business.

Re: American Memorabilia - Solicitation Practices

Hello Gentlemen,

I know Eric is traveling today so I am going to make a post here. I am going to ask everyone to take a step back here and refrain from making posts that achieve very little beyond the personal challenges. This forum is intended to operate in a positive environment and I don't think this thread is achieving that goal. Here is the forum rule in case you have any questions:

No Personal Attacks. Do not harass, belittle, threaten or “flame” another member. Do not call other members names, even in jest. You may dispute opinions and facts, but do so with facts and not by taking it to a personal level. This forum is intended to operate in a positive environment. Please help us achieve that goal.

Please note that if posts that fall into the "personal attacks" category continue on this thread or any other, we reserve the right to enforce the forum policies outlined in the "Administration" section of the forum rules linked here:

Re: American Memorabilia - Solicitation Practices

TRSENT THAT IS CALLED HARASSMENT, SPEAKING OF WHICH TO HELP YOU OUT HERE IS THE MERIAM WEBSTERS DICTIONARY DEFINITION.

Harassment - 1 a : EXHAUST, FATIGUE b (1) : to annoy persistently (2) : to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct

Jason, I am sorry.

I do not want to harass you.

Please forgive me.

Then again, was it me about six months ago offered you a truce and you declined. Oh well, I tried to be a Mensch and you decided you'll hold a grudge because I wrote the truth.

I do not want you as a friend, I just thought being on better terms would have helped more.

Again, sorry, I do not want to harass you, but I will continue to post in treads where I see my input is useful.

Re: American Memorabilia - Solicitation Practices

Well children, you've really done it this time. I just got into my hotel and spent the last half hour trying to clean up your mess. Everyone stop, you're making yourselves look like fools.

Hey, have a great day! I know I am!
Eric
