Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

Wow. I haven't checked the Forum for a while and am quite interested to see how many other consignors have been stiffed by Bricol. At least it sounds like one of you got paid. I consigned A LOT of items with Brian and Sharon in person back in March. Most of the items were sold in May and I still have not received any payment. Like most of you, I've called and emailed many, many times. I have been waiting to file a civil action, and I intend to do so soon. I have a question for you: did any of you have written consignment agreements with Bricol or were you operating under oral contracts? Also, has anyone gotten any traction with the Florida AG's office yet? I am quite willing to participate in that process as well. Thanks. --Steve

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

They charged me $15 for GU Authentication and a 20% consignment fee. I should have negotiated a lower consignment fee since 20% is way too high. I find it amazing that they are passing on Lampson's authenication fee to the consigner. I've never run into that yet and I hope it's not something other auction house might be trying. I'm just cashing the check and moving on.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

How did things work out for you guys?

I received my consignment check yesterday after a two and a half month wait. Hopefully it won't bounce. I think Robert was right about them waiting to receive payments from the recent auction to pay off the previous auction. That problem can't be good for their future.

I just got off the phone with the attorney general of Florida. She stated we all need to go on there website and fill out the on line complaint form, so they can start to investigate BRICOL SPORTS. If you have any questions feel free to email me at nolanryanseller34@yahoo.com THANKS CORY

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

sounds like a ponzi scheme type of operation - consignors don't get paid until revenues are received from the following auction because current auction receipts are used to pay past consignors...

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

Brian will not contact me, I have left over 50 emails and messages. I didn't know Shannon was his wife, as to the few times I have spoken to her she has pretty much put the blame on Brian. WE need to all contact the attorney general. YSMS, with your police background can you start the ball rolling on putting this crook out of Buisness?? hblakewolf, I would love the home number for mr collard, so I can start bugging him at home. please email at nolanryanseller34@yahoo.com thanks

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I'm in the same boat as others........

Over a two week time fram, I've sent 8 emails-no reply.

5 phone messages to their office and also a phone message to Brian and his wife's Shannon's home phone-no reply.

If no response from Bricol by next Friday, I plan to contact the Florida Attorney General and learn what avenues I should take to get my consignment payment.

Has anyone spoken with Brian or shannon, or for that matter, does anyone have any insight about this?

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

Currently am also having major issues with "Check in the mail" email pertaining to consignment checks.

No return calls nor answers to 9 emails after the original check in the mail email.

They also havent returned consignments which received no bids.

They also listed a game worn consignment lot wrong and even after several emails and voice mails advisng them they listed the item wrong, it still stayed in the auction and sold last auction.

Funny, I bid on some items and got an invoice the following morning.

As a retired law enforcement officer who helped provide information for Operation Bull Pen that led to an individual getting 4 years in the Federal pen, I know my next step.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I was the winning bidder in one of Bricol's auctions. Mailed in payment of $600+ after receiving an invoice. Heard nothing for the longest time. Contacted Bricol's office via phone, and had a very difficult time getting Brian on the line. He did eventually speak to me with a profanity laden stream of words. Told me I was not the winning bidder. To this day, I have never received the jersey or a refund.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I had an issue with Bricol a few years ago and I've never placed another bid nor have I ever consigned an item to them ever again.

The way it went for me was, they have a 10 minute rule. So, during my last auction, I had my eye on 2 items. I stayed up late and in the early AM hours, I placed a bid on one of the items I wanted. The computer took my bid and I was advised that I was the high bidder.

I then moved on to the 2nd item. In the short time it took me to get to the 2nd item, when I tried to place a bid, my bid WAS NOT accepted because the auction was over. I thought I had did something wrong so I tried to bid again and again, my bid was not accepted because the auction was over.

I immediately called BRICOL and as I was leaving a message on their machine, BRIAN got on the phone and tried to explain how their procedures worked. He refused to accept my phone bid and I lost the item.

The bottom line was/is, they had a 10-minute rule and they did not abide by their own rules. The way I saw it then is the same way I see it now - it's their loss not mine. I no longer consign to them nor will I ever bid with them again. Quite frankly, Brian probably feels that he doesn't need my business anyway so it's all good.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I wonder how a company can run it's business like this and STILL actually be in business. Bloody rediculous.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I have also had a bad experience with them and will never do business with them again.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I've just about always been happy with what I've bought from them, but about a year ago I won a "Sadaharu Oh signed ball." In the scan, it looked like any other baseball, but I assumed it was unofficial since nowhere in the description did it say ONL or OAL. When I got it, it turned out to be a squishy foam rubber ball, like you'd give to an infant. I immediately called and asked to return it, and I was berated by the office manager for 20 minutes for not being happy about it, and was told that it was worth far more than I paid for it, and I shouldn't assume it was even a baseball! I eventually got my money back, but Brian refuses to acknowledge the situation, which really bothers me.
