Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

So is there a contact phone number to Bricol directly? I have sent several emails regarding getting LOA's that were supposed to be included from Lampson for several game used jersey's I won. So far I have not heard back. Looking for a phone number at this point.

thanks for the help,

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I'm also owed some money by them dating from two auctions ago. Reading this thread, I guess I'm not alone...wish I knew that before consigning some items.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

Right now, Bricol Sports Auction lists a lot of low end items from Wayne Otto and that appears to be all that is holding them together. If no one consigns or bids then they will disappear just like Elite Sports Marketing. Remember them?

Aside from the creditors, I doubt that there would be much sorrow in the hobby.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I also know that calling the Pinella's County Sheriff and having them pay her a visit is VERY helpful in getting paid. Shannon does not like the Sheriff visiting her and she will let you know that but she will also pay you within a week after their visit. It has worked for me and others. Call them and file a complaint. The address that Bricol uses as a business address is in a strip mall and all the items are accepted by a common front desk that all the merchants in the strip mall use. You can go to Zaba search and get their home address so the Sheriff can personally pay her a visit at home.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

There have been warning signs related to Bricol for at least a year. Non payment, payments coming months late when they come at all. No replies to emails or phone calls. Bricol used to be decent but when the day to day operations were turned over to his wife Shannon it all deteriorated fast. I used to consign to them frequently but I ran into all of the same problems that others have reported so I discontinued using them Shannon Collard has a Facebook page, go to it and leave her a message on it as to why you have not received payment. Bricol Auctions also has a Facebook page as well, do the same thing. Shannon also works part time at a Real Estate agency. I used to have that number and used it to contact her there. If I can find it I will post the number. Right now, Bricol Sports Auction lists a lot of low end items from Wayne Otto and that appears to be all that is holding them together.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I see the other threads are earlier, but feel I am in the process of being ripped of by Bricol Sports Auctions also. In February, 2010 I sent my autographed collection of sports and entertainment pictures and cards to Brian Collard to be auctioned by his Company. Most sold in an auction in March, 2010 and what didn't sell there went in the next auction and continuing again.

But as of today I have not received payment for the March, 2010 auction or any others since then. The emails I sent are getting bounced back to me as undeliverable and where as a week ago my phone call at least went to an answering machine, now the phone just rings and rings.

I'm very worried and concerned that they are ripping me off. I've dealt with Brian for years without much of a problem, but now it seems he's ready to fly the coup if he hasn't already. Next big concern is that he has an auction ongoing currently to end August 5, 2010. How many consignors will be ripped off here also!

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

Over 30 days since the last auction ended, and no paymant has been received. Several emails and phone calls made to Brian and his wife Shannon, with no reply. If payment is not received within another 7 days, I'll have to resort to conatcting the legal authorities in Florida, as I previously did, in order to collect my $$$.

Just checking to see how everyone's ordeal has worked out.

Re: Has anyone else encountered problems with BRICOL

I consigned some jerseys for the Nov. auction and have not been paid yet. I did not have an oral contract, I signed a contract and sent it with the jerseys. I'm going to call Det. Anderson in the next couple days and see what I can do about this situation. I sent him more jerseys for the Jan. Auction and I just got an E-mail saying the auction is live...

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

As follow-up to my previous post on this thread, I contacted Detective Cangemi with the Pinellas County Crimes Unit. He noted that he visited Shannon Bricol at her residence, explained my issues with lack of payment, and he was assured my check had already been mailed. One week later, my payment was received in full.

Detective Cangemi informed me that he is no longer handeling issues related to Bricol, and said that a new detective is handeling all issues/complaints. Detective Anderson can be contacted at 727-464-7988.
