while I might hold something well past the "expiration date" for
known (bidding) clients, all in all the few people who don't pay the
way they're supposed to lose out as I just cancel the sales and ban
them (like Bruce, I'll ban someone who doesn't pay even if it's just
a 99 cent item). for all consignments, my deal with consignors is a
specific "pay date" after sale. If someone doesn't pay & I know I can
hold the item & still be paid, I'll pay the consignor. If it's an
expensive item, my buyers must pay first, but also must pay within time frame.

Why would you not read the fine print on any auction house you dealt
or deal with? That would be the first thing anyone should do--rather
than step into something uninformed.
Then you would know the parameters as well as their policies, from the start.

a few months ago, i consigned 2 asian antique items to a california
auction house that specializes in asian art. after 2/3 months, i
asked, WHERE'S MY MONEY? they responded that the high bidder (same
bidder of both items) had not yet paid; that i would be paid once HE/SHE paid.
QUESTION: what is the policy of the leading poster auctioneers if
the high bidder doesnt pay? would the consignor need to wait until
payment was received (maybe 4/5 months) or for the item to be
reauctioned and payment received? i havent read the "fine print" of
our MOPO auctioneers or the big auction houses. if a poster is
returned because the buyer said it was "not as decribed"...what happens?
of course, a scam could be to consign a 20.00 insert to an
auctioneer, and have 2 friends bid it up to 800 IF the policy was to
pay the consignor based upon the high bid the first time out
regardless of other factors.
(ps--i did get my money.....but it was 4/5 months)
so i await responses posted here from "the usual suspects".
