Re: AMI's FANTATIC ASSORTMENT OF GAMERS
Brett,
Thank you for the intelligent question(s).
The beauty in them staying around is twofold.
One, it gives the legit consigners time for their attorney(s) to do whatever they can do to attach/tie up/secure/lein/etc. any items possibly listed out there as assets of AMI so that these poor souls that have been left holding fairly large empty bags can recoup their money. Hopefully that would include any outstanding auction winning from unpaid buyers. As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. In this case, the ones who seeked out legal help first may just end up getting restitution fastest (first).
The other thing is, and what I was trying to allude to, is if they are able to somehow get over this (what we all would hope to be is referred to as "short term") cash flow/profit crunch due to the bad economy or otherwise (not taking care of the business properly in regards to paying the people who supplied them with their lifeblood......consignments.....), then maybe the ones left holding a bag if any, would be the "suppliers" of items to them furthest associated from us "real folks" in the collecting hobby.
And quite frankly, if it's not collector consigners, but companies or individuals in this auction game strickly to make a buck......who really cares what they end up with in their hands?
Again, I wasn't trying to be so literal, as I don't really care to add to the list of people who don't like my comments about their poorly run business and practices....but I do appreciate that there are a few of you out there who can understand the concept as being in the best interest of the hobby consigners.
Too bad others here just have another agenda, and muck up the message with personal issues.
Take care Brett,
Steve
