Re: Steiner Auction

They do have a buch of cards in screw down holders which is known to damage the cards.

Re: Steiner Auction

So to summarize there isn't one item that is "Shady" in their auction. There are some lesser graded items which will go for lesser prices. Imagine that. The descriptions are generic at times but I don't find any of them attempting to be misleading. Seems like a post that needs a good old fashioned deleting.
I still haven't seen the list of items that are shady?

U r right...we'll see how quickly that happens...

Re: Steiner Auction

ok this is insane! The auction is still going the next morning! Were there really bids every 15 minutes all night and if so shouldnt they just cut it off at a certain time! Really stupid!

Re: Steiner Auction

If you search by "most recent bids" you come up with some really great stuff worth keeping the extended bidding going over 12 hours....most notably a Jim Palmer singled signed baseball. Just don't see those all the time

Re: Steiner Auction

What a joke. I was high bid on something all night until about 10
Minutes ago. The auction should have ended hours ago when there was no bids for hours. Than I was outbid this morning.

Re: Steiner Auction

Hi, some collectors like seanbaseball have reached out to us directly and I've asked for some suggestions on various topics including the 15 minute rule. Sean was kind enough to come back to me with feedback that my team and I will review before our next catalog auction. Unfortunately I'm sure we will not make everyone happy but we will do our best to make it a better experience. The descriptions are at the top of my list to improve, among others.

If you have any concerns or questions you can email me directly at ereyes@steinersports.com. Many of you know me from my previous stint with Steiner and for those that don't I worked with Steiner for almost 10 years and worked closing with GUU on Yankee related game items.

Yes, even longer than a Grey Flannel auction...it is quite amazing...so, what is the auction team structure at Steiner these days?

At this point, you should notify all bidders with a hard close time.

Re: Steiner Auction

WOW!

This auction is still going 18 hours after the close time?!?!

I'm sorry, but that's just stupid.

I know you guys are trying to squeeze every last dollar out of your customers, but I think at this point you're pissing off more people than you're making happy.

I am hopeful there are changes coming before the next one.........taking this long takes the fun out of it.

Re: Steiner Auction

Re: Steiner Auction

I see 26 bats listed, and, 25 of them have PSA or MEARS letters...How can they be "shady"? Descriptions may be a bit goofy, but, don't see issues here..I didn't inspect every listing, but, the ones I did , like the Aaron which has a PSA Grade 7, seem to check out...maybe someone is trying to keep bidders away?

I love this quote by Truevalue, whoever he is. How can a bat with a PSA/Mears letter be shady? Haha. Sean and Truevalue showed their true ignorance when they did not recognize that this auction was bush league from the get go and instead decided to jump all over me. Less talking, more listening for you two.
Steiner is supposed to be the gold standard in memorabilia. After the Eli Manning debacle, you would think they would focus on providing quality, high end pieces instead of trying to manipulate their mostly uneducated customer base with marginal items and ridiculous lot descriptions.
