I apologize for the late response, as my work load has been overwhelming, All of *** *** consigned items were sold at this auctionThe consignment consisted of many collectibles, which in today's market are not of much value, that apparently *** *** thought I should sell one

This is the boxed lot portion of the sale, and are sold before the catalogued items. These are flat boxed lots that contain anywhere from to items each. We offer choice of boxed lots until the price is under five dollars. We then give the top bidder & back bidder choice at that price (in this case-$4.00), and then open it up to anyone. After that, we sell t he remaining boxes for one price, which could be as many three or four boxes.Also, please not 136A "remaining Native American" decorations.

Please be advised that this customer did not choose our auction service because of our website. She chose our services because a friend recommended us to her. We have been in business since and have thousands of satisfied customers. We did not stay in business by "ripping people off".She consigned a bunch of collectibles, which cannot be handled one at a time, as in a yard sale. An auction is a wholesale form of sale where many items are grouped and sold quickly. Many items are sold to buyers who resell them at a yard sale or on line. We do not have time to sell collectibles one at a time. I did explain to this customer that most of her items would be sold in flat boxed lots.It is clear that this customer was not happy with the proceeds of the sale. During the summer in this area, there are not many yard sales and the swap meets do very little business. As a result, the number of buyers for this type of merchandise become few, and the prices suffer. We cannot change this market as we only sell to it. We cannot make buyers pay more for an item at an auction. She failed to explain to us that she wanted top dollar for her collectibles, instead she implied that she just wanted to get rid of them. If she had indicated that she wanted top dollar, we would have refused the consignment. We normally do not take this type of consignment and should have not taken this one. Sadly, we thought that we were helping this customer out.95% of our business comes from recommendations from former customers. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, but I am at loss to how to make this customer satisfied. She has accused us of being thieves and "rip off artists". No matter what we do, these accusations will stand.Sincerely, David A D***, D***'s Auction Service
