Todd,

I just don't want to unfairly make it look like an auction house it is not by reporting who I remember selling these. Also, the reason I asked him about it was because I had a hunch on the consignor and I was correct...

Great Dave, I might just do that. I guess you can't help out with my previous questions. That's OK, thanks for the discussion.


Best regards,

Great Point Dave I don't want to make silly assumptions, However I can recall your name being in an AMI Auction Catalog as a contributor or something like that. Why is this? Anyway, can you help me out, do you know of any other internet auction companies that have sold similar jerseys in the past year besides AMI?


Best regards,

Like all of you, I have been wondering what auction house this was. Knowing that Dave is a represenative of AMI, I just happened to check their website and there are similar jerseys listed under completed auction items.

Does anyone know of any other aution company that has sold similar jerseys?

Thanks,


Todd

Todd,

I am not a representative of AMI, but I can tell you it is not them. How about PM the person who started the thread and getting the answer before making a silly assumption...

How do you know these jerseys were the ones that originated with you? What distinguishing mark on them proved they were your jerseys? Did you initial them or something/ If not how can you show they were your jerseys?

Thnaks,
Dave

Hey Dave..........

I cant reply to your PM...please alter your setting where we can talk.

Re: How do I handle questionable auction items? (title edited)

I did not ask the consignor why he did it. I went straight to the auction owner...he did nothing. if you would like to discuss this further please pm me. I will be happy to detail. Did you purchase one of these?

What were the markings? Do you know the consignor, and did he tell you that he put them in as gamers? Did you ask him why he did that?

Thanks,
Dave

As i said....if anyone purchased a Bush or Leinart home crimson gamer in the last year please let me know.

Re: How do I handle questionable auction items? (title edited)

Dave...that is an extremely fair question that I knew would be asked. The answer is two fold.....first both jerseys had UNMISTAKABLE markings....and I mean blatant ones. Secondly....the gentleman I sold them to is the one that consigned them in the very next auction.

Chris.....I will say this much and leave it at that. There is a widely known internet auction house that has passed two items as game used....both of which I know are not game used. How do I know? Because I was the original and first owner. I know where these items came from. They were given to me by a friend who is an executive with Nike. These jerseys were simply game issued...never ever ever ever used. I told the company about this and nothing was done. The sad part is some poor sap is out thousands of dollars. Furthermore, these items can not be distinguished from game used by ANY so called authenticator. As far as these two jerseys are concerned, I myself am the ultimate authenticator. I did what I thought was right and moral....and nothing came of it. If anyone on here in the last 2 years has purchased a game used Reggie Bush USC jersey....or a game used Matt Leinart USC jersey.....please pm me. We need to talk.

Re: How do I handle questionable auction items? (title edited)

I dealt with this auction house on several occasions because I had them sell some of my gamers. Thus I know the owner well. I called him personally and told him of the problems. His exact reply was, "everybody thinks they are an authenticator." That pissed me off. I then told him there was no reason to ruin his name and reputation over a couple of jerseys that were going to make him about 1000 bucks of profit. He didnt listen to me and I will never do business with him again. Since I am not a vintage collector, all my stuff is fairly recent. That being said, I will no longer buy ANYTHING that doesnt include player, owner or league provenance. No exceptions. I dont care if Jesus and Moses both authenticated it.
