Re: Goldin Auctions at the National

Having gone to these events before as a paying attendee, I know money can seem to flow out of your pocket for everything....parking, admission, hotels, airfare, not to mention whatever you purchase! The people at Goldin Auctions certainly understand that feeling.

That is why we are offering the following promotion at our booth that is intended to PUT MONEY INTO YOUR POCKET. It is our way of trying to give back to the people who do business with us. I hope it can end of helping some of the GUU members who are attending the event:

I actually wish I was smart enough to come up with the idea but, unfortunately, I'm not that bright. However, if you have any questions about the promotion or need help with consignment questions for Goldin Auctions, please feel free to let me know. I am smart enough to help with those questions

Sincerely,
Chris

Goldin Auctions Awarding Collectors $1500 at its booth (#656) at the National Sports Collector's Convention from July 31-August 4

WEST BERLIN, NJ - JUY 26, 2013 - Most collectors walking the floor at the 34th annual National Sports Collector's Convention are constantly pulling out their wallets to make a purchase. That's why Goldin Auctions is hoping to put some money back into their pockets by offering $1,500 in prizes at their booth during the show from July 31-August 4.
Each day, collectors who visit the Goldin Auctions Booth (Booth #656) and register for the company's Fall Auction catalog, or confirm that they are already registered, are entered into a drawing to win a GoldinAuctions.com $100 gift certificate. At the end of the week, all registrants are entered to win a $1,000 gift certificate, which can also be used at a company auction through July 31, 2014

"When collectors consign an item to Goldin Auctions it's just like putting money in their pocket," said Ken Goldin, Founder of Goldin Auction. "We look forward to meeting the thousands of passionate collectors at The National an helping them learn how Goldin Auctions can realize record prices for their consignments."

Re: Goldin Auctions at the National

Hey Everyone,

Two things:

1) I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused anyone on Saturday. I was asked to be a guest on a television program they were shooting at the National and I was promised we would be done around 11:00. As it turns out, we ended up filming until about 12:20 or so. In fact, at 12:00, I made the film people wait as I told them I had to run to my booth because there were people expecting me at 12:00. I ran back to the booth and saw a few of you and mentioned the film people needed me for another 15 or 20 minutes and that I would return as soon as possible. I did come back around 20 minutes later but there wasn't anyone left at the booth. I am sure no one wanted to wait and I wouldn't have wanted to wait either. My sincere apologies as it was totally unexpected and I feel really bad if I inconvenienced anyone.

2) As a way of saying I'm sorry, if you came by the Goldin Auctions booth, please email me and I will personally pay $10 toward your invoice for anything you purchase in Goldin Auctions October auction. I feel really bad that I promised everyone a drink and I want to personally make it up to you. This will be done on an "honor system" so I am trusting only people who showed up will email me. In fact, I did meet a few of you when I ran back to the booth at noon so I'm not expecting 1,000 emails. Please feel free to email me at Chris@gameuseduniverse.com

Btw, here are a couple of pictures from the filming in case you thought my story was fabricated I'm the one in the navy blue jacket on the right, the one with a little bit of hair :

Chris,

Don't worry about it....Goldin spent a lot of money to set up and bring their employees out...your job comes first, we all understood that. It was nice getting to shake hands and put a face with the name I have seen on here for so long.

I consigned a piece for your next auction...this is the first time I have ever consigned a piece to an auction house, so I am looking forward to the next auction.

You'll just owe us 2 drinks in Celeveland!

Take care,

Eric

Hey Eric,

Thanks for the post and it was my pleasure getting to meet you. Also, you have a deal for two drinks in Cleveland. However, maybe I will get lucky and be somewhere in your area before then and we will be able to spend some time in person.

Thanks again,
Chris
