Re: Sometimes the good guy wins - AMI Auction story

i'm guessing the good guy, the winner in this thing, is he buyer and not the consignor - wouldn't you just love to be the poor guy that consigned this shirt to ami? in a case like this i'm sure it would be entirely out of the question for a buyer to contact the business to let them know a mistake had been made, that an item of much greater value was shipped instead of what they had paid for. i mean if the tables were turned, if a buyer purchased a player's super bowl shirt as advertised and instead got a non-super bowl shirt, the buyer would most likely let it slide, right?

...

If it was Hunt or someone reputable who actually pays their consingors and it would negatively affect the two parties, I would absolutely contact the auction house. Considering it is AMI, who obviously after 4 years hasn't paid the consignor or returned hs jersey, would you rather it be sitting in their warehouse gathering dust or in a collector's hands who appreciates it?

Re: Sometimes the good guy wins - AMI Auction story

I wonder by law if you sent someone the wrong item would you have to return it to them?
How does that work out?

I won one of AMI's April auctions and expressed my dissatisfaction on here with having to pay $30 shipping/handling. I won a fairly common Puma 2000 Rams gamer from Clemson alum, Dexter McCleon http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/A...ction_ID=43078. Even after the ridiculous shipping, it was still a good buy for me at $150. The package arrived in less than a week which was a pleasant surprise after reading some of the online reviews of their business practices. When I opened the package today I immediately realized somthing was different with the jersey inside.









What I actually received was McCleon's Reebok 2001 Super Bowl XXXVI gamer with a nice team repair! I checked their complete auctions and this jersey actually sold for $585 in one of their 2005 auctions. http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/A...ction_ID=21847 I don't know if the auction never got paid for or the bidder never got their jersey, but regardless I am ECSTATIC! The chances that I will ever find another Clemson Super Bowl jersey are obviously very small (threw that in there for the FL, OSU, and Mich collectors on the board so you wouldn't have to) !!
