Hey Top, I would agree but an email I received posted the same info that is also on his eBay profile page so I'm sure he: 1. won't care and 2. won't answer me from either
[MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION] - Not sure what was posted in the above posts, but his LinkedIn profile has a phone number if that would help:Very large volume eBay seller that takes on large collections on consignment. One of, if not the biggest, card seller on eBay
Fair enough. From what I have seen he is pretty responsive...

Message was sent and as was alluded too there is controversy but I've also heard the same amount of respect for his ethics
Some people like to group all consignors together and paint with a broad brush.
Beyond that, there is the issue that many large consignors do not police shilling as closely as some would like. There have been discussions on these boards about the challenges of such policing, but it is certainly something that makes some people uncomfortable. (The fact that many large auction houses use a similar idea to create a "secret reserve" may or may not be relevant to the discussion, even beyond whether it is something that can be monitored).
I have sold with Rick a number of times and have had nothing but positive experience and I can guarantee that on the items he sold for me there was no shill bidding. I was very happy working with him, and would happily continue to do so. In all my dealings he has been absolutely stand-up.

I'm sure I have bought from him then without even knowing it. What exactly is consignment I never understood what that was?
