Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

Game Used Universe is aware of the list involving Mastro bidders, which mentions bidders, consignors, and winning bidders, and was offered up by Doug Allen prior to his sentencing. In cooperation with the forum rules, specifically in regard to accusations of wrong doing (rule 16) and unnecessarily discrediting others (rule 17), we ask that the list not be posted to our forum. Thank you for understanding.

I've seen this topic discussed on other forums and some of the reasons why those individuals were shilling are interesting to say the least...

If its allowed to be discussed, how come some posts by other members have been deleted when it didn't show the list.

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

I feel the list should be on every collector website there is this allows collectors a chance to see how auction houses and cosigners have operated and allows collectors to decided who they want to do business with in the future

Is it sad that many industry heavyweights are involved of course it is, there where names on the list that I was shocked to see but it's out there and I think now collectors can use that list to protect themselves and learn from it.

The industry can hide from the list or allow it to be used as a teaching and learning tool for the new wave of collectors and hopefully continue to try and clean up the industry

I have never seen so many moderators watching and moderating a thread before....

Those posts contained references to the list and names.

It's sad this board has become so political and that the interests of few are more important then the whole guu community.

Just like in politics follow the money

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

If nothing else, the sheer amount of times "Mastro Auctions" consigned items, bid on items, and won items makes me want to puke.

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

Auction houses are kinda like baseball players in the steroid era- you have to assume everyone is doing something they shouldn't be. The list is further evidence. The moderation and censoring of posts in this thread has been shameful. All to protect the "stakeholders" in the hobby.

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

Everyone in the hobby wants it to be clean and truthful as possible and when there is a list of guys on the list involved with Mastro in one way or another it should be posted so people can decide for themselves if they want to continue to do business with them if they own auction house or a business. Why is it so secretive on here? It makes everything sound more shady and definitely one sided by not letting collectors know who's on the list. Just my view

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

This list is readily available. When I saw this thread while on my commute home on the bus last night I was able to download it to my iPhone within 10 minutes of searching online. All is being asked that this list not be posted on this thread/site at this point.

Please do not rush to judgement here. The fact that this thread is still opened and was not immediately closed last night should be a positive.

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

I see both sides- knowing that all of us want to see who was connected with shilling, but one reason I believe it isn't on this thread is to protect those names who were innocent bidders.

Re: Mastro Shill Bid list!

This was for sure an interesting read, sad to see what some say is the guy with the best overall Chicago Cubs collection on there many times. Didn't name any names, could be any of them!

Don't I remember a post of someone actually reading the full policy of one of the auction houses and it said if we feel an item is undervalued that we may bid or something of that nature? I'm certain I seen that on here awhile ago on a post.

I'm wondering when someone is going to start looking into mlb auctions!!!
