Michael,
Yeah, but dude... you've made your point several times... several messages
back... they corrected their misstatement in the catalog while the auction was
going on as best as they could. Yes it was due to your commitment that they
did that and that's been acknowledged. No, it shouldn't have happened in the
first place, much less the second. Nor should the mistake over IT HAPPENED
ONE NIGHT once several well-respected members of the community pointed out they
had some problems in this regard -- yet it wasn't pulled until the last second
on the floor. Rumor has it someone at Bonham's may have gotten the ax over these
bad mistakes, but I don't have first hand knowledge of that. But,
anyway... enough is actually enough. When something is done and all the
points have been made it's time to walk away and move on and let the subject
drop.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Bonham's Sale !!! MOPO has proven to be a great policing technique/source for fellow
collectors.
Towards that end, i announced my experience with the STRANGERS ON THE TRAIN
insert. But for me, Bonhams would have ONCE, AGAIN, misled absentee
bidders. While it was reported here that it sold for a mere 300 because of
its horrible condition, if it were not for me, some innocent absentee bidder
would have paid a lot more. Bonhams NEVER would have changed the rating
from "A-" to "C-" if it werent for me. And people relying solely on the
catalogue never learned of the downgraded rating. HOW DARE I BE CRITICIZED
FOR DEMANDING HONEST GRADINGS OF POSTERS when the seller has been shown to act
irresponsibly, previously?
MOPOers have a long track record of demanding DISCLOSURE, DISCLOURE,
DISCLOSURE.
Bonhams does not have a "no questions asked" return policy". I had
to expend needless energy to have my money refunded---despite the
grossly inadequate description. I guess flix has never been burnt.
Once burnt, you act more cautiously.
