Didn't the auction end on 2/27/11? Are you saying you paid a month after the auction ended? I thought payment was due 15 days after invoices were sent.

He waited on my cashier's check to clear, but shipped my item about a week later.

yes, 10 days late! do you think its payback? international money orders are like cash. I dont know what a cashiers check is. I am glad you got your stuff though! When I Fedexed the payment there was no one to accept it. Like I said, bad communication makes me uneasy!

I think auction houses even wait for cash to clear.

Where are you sending payment from? I mean, you're either in a hurry or you're not. The faster you send payment, the faster you get your item.

If your item has to clear customs, you could be waiting a little longer. Once had a package take exactly 30 days from USA to Canada.

no man, I gave him my fed ex acc. to overnie it. Again, he told me it would go out on wed. I checked my fedex acc. and nothing.Countless unanswered emails and no answers on their phone! I have dealt with everyone and never went through something like this! Thats why i am worried.However since you got yours i am hopefull I will get mine! I am in Montreal by the way! Thanks again!

Re: Paragon Auctions,friend Or Foe ?

I'm sure you'll get the item eventually.

Montreal, eh? Have only been there once, in the late 80s. A sandwich at Schwartz's, late night poutine and beers & billiards at Bar Saint Laurent (I think that's what it was called).

Tell me Schwartz's smoked meat wasn't like the best sandwich you have ever had! Late night poutine at Bar St. Laurent to boot. I hope you completed the Montreal experience with a trip to CHEZ PAREE!!!!!!!!

Every single Auction House hangs out on here and anytime I mention something remotely negative about them, I get Nastygrams from them, so I will refrain.....If it makes you feel any better, I am experiencing similar events that you are experiencing from their last Auction. I am not really concerned yet, but I also have not received my item.

LOVELY ! You would think first time as an Auction HOUSE they would try to impress. I have bought hundreds of items from auction and been deceived a few times but i took the blame and did not speak out! This case has gotten to me though!

I guess thats good news! I still dont understand the check clearing part.Its not a personal check. I have never been through non return emails and non answered calls and a lie! When( when means how long IT TAKES to get my stuff) I get this over with, I will reconsider MY OPINION! I have built my collection of over 300 game used pieces from auction houses, so i have no reason to create a story!

Good luck to you. Seems someone is not interested in your business anymore.

I took a JPMorgan "Chase" cashier's check only to find out it was a fake. With color printers and good photoshopping, my bank didn't even know until it was returned. I was out several thousand dollars because I shipped it overnight before it cleared.

I had a person that I had never dealt with before about four years ago also send me what I believe was a Bank of America cashier's check and it too was spot on from everything I could see. Thankfully in this case I am a very cautious person and will never ship anything of value before the check clears. In this case it was a Ted Williams game used bat an item of significant value. The buyer was a little agitated that I refused to ship until the check cleared based on our conversations up front. The check turned out to be bogus and the guy disappeared. Never did hear back from the authorities on whether they caught the man.

Word to the wise, always be cautious with any form of payment unless you really know the seller. Andrew is correct, with the technology today it is rather easy for someone of knowledge and means to counterfeit almost anything.

Whoever does not want my business will be out one day when I decide to sell my collection! With premiums both ways that would be around 100.000. That goes for a lot of collectors out there. We keep these business's in business.I understand the 10 day shtick better now.The rest of my comments are still valid pertaining to communication however!
