realmaster wrote:yes, the collection was sent via fed-ex so everything was insured with tracking but if they say that they are gone I don't think there is anything I can do. live and learn I guess.

Better to lie low and return next year with a new bag of BS.At least Google keeps people coming to the forum to read this thread.
mbassoc2003 wrote:No. The thing is, Al, he mispacked what he sent to T&T.Like if you send a customer his order and put a copy of Tegel in there by accident 'cis you were keeping it protected in that box but forgot to take it out before you shipped.You ask for it back and he says, "you didn't send that to me." Then you find him selling it on eBay.The error is definately the person who sent the item's fault, but a good example of T&T corporate ethics and the honesty in the company.

mbassoc2003 wrote:Killjoy - Yep, running the auction at GenCon and taking a cut of the proffits and selling the majority of the stuff to your own company to further bolster your cut of the enterprise, is f"cked up left right and centre. It's a racket and in the US you'd have thought they would be acutely aware of the line between honest business and a racket, given their history and the stuff that brought down their economy in the bigger corporations in America. Maybe it doesn't meet some legal definition of a racket if there is one in the US, but it is morally questionable when the oragnisation being paid to sell the items makes proffit from selling the bulk of the items to itself. That is seriously f"cked up. I can only assume US business is so slewed by capitalism that they don't see how corrupt that looks to the rest of the world.

It's the idea that the body selling the goods is also the body managing the buying process on behalf of the sellers, and the one taking the administration fees for doing so, and the one controlling the pace and flow of goods through the system that is screwy.If they sat at the front of ACME Auction Houses, and bought everything that was sold, there is nothing wrong with that. It'd be like me or you turning up with a suitcase full of cash and buying everything at the auction. But it I turned up with a suitcase of cash to buy everything at the auction, and at the same time I got to charge people for the privelige of bidding against me or selling their stuff to me, that's f"cked up.
