Re: Goldin Auctions Larkin Glove

I think Ken is a good guy and his auction house is one of the best I've worked with - I have a couple jerseys listed with him now. I do see the posts on here about other auction houses and the lack of research they do and how they post things - profit driven and not so much quality driven. Its nice to see that Ken took the time to not only look into the problem but also keep the forum up to date on things.

Re: Goldin Auctions Larkin Glove

Ken did the right thing by contacting the potential buyers about the mistake that I located. The purpose of this forum is to educate collectors about the hobby and potential issues, which is the purpose of my post.

However, I am amazed by sportsnbikes comments about my post. A review of his posts clearly shows he makes complaints about items being sold and 3rd party authenticators. It appears it is ok for him to complain about certain items, but not for others to point out potential issues to collectors.

Are those companies active members here? Do I have a way to reach out to them privately? Your statement about me is silly. Yep, I have complained about 3rd party authenticators. I don't think I'm the only one who ever has. However you're the only one I've seen openly try to discredit a site sponser and active contributing member when there is a means to reach them privately. With that being said, I'm glad to see Ken was able to clarify the issue. BTW, complaining about a high price isn't anywhere near the same as trying to call someone out on integrity.

IMO, complaining about high prices is just as silly. sorry.

That's your opinion and I respect that. I disagree and that's my opinion. I don't know that you've read my posts but either way that's cool. A complaint about a high price is nothing like trying to call out a reputable auctioneer. Those are apples and oranges, IMO. There's really nothing more to say here for me personally. As I stated before, I was glad that Ken was able to clarify any mix up. That's all that really matters at this point.

No one even knew there was an issue until I caught the mistake!! I appreciate Ken acknowledging the mistake and fixing it. There has been no slander as has been alleged. The truth is a defense.

Informing other collectors was the sole reason for the post. I have nothing against Ken personally and will continue to bid in his auctions. I, like all of you, want to make sure that the item I am bidding on is actually the item advertised.

Yes we all know you caught the mistake as you have repeatedly stated. Only point being made on this side is that you could've went about it differently by sending him a private message rather than blast him on a forum. We can agree to disagree and call it done. I hope you get everything that you bid on.

Re: Goldin Auctions Larkin Glove

To be honest, rather than just seeing "item withdrawn", threads like these can be handy if down the line the same items come back to market being sold as something they might not be.
