Howdy y'all, It appears that some wrong has been made and has not been righted to a satisfactory end.
If that is true to some degree, the wronged party can pronounce all day and all night ... that much I can understand and I have no issue. Bruce ... you are the a marketing jedi master ... I may be wrong, but I don't believe you need this situation as part of a business marketing model. Looking at the wreck (on the side of the road) in the rear view mirror keeps your eyes off the road ahead. Call me old school country ... ad ________________________________ From: Geraldine Kudaka <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 8, 2012 9:49 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Bruce vs Heritage inventory & auciton services Seems to me the director of a professional auction company would not say, "Don't worry, we have your posters tagged and inventoried" unless they did have them tagged. Seems to me, a professional auction company doing what is close to a billion dollars worth of annual sales would have a very good double-ledger type of accounting software tied to a database which could help staff evaluate poster's worth and track it's movement through their system. That same software would not allow an employee to simply remove it's existence from their inventory. Seems to me if a professional auction company has high end Signature auctions and weekly low-end auctions, posters going in the low-end auction would be in the same database. Seems to me, if a company like Bruce's which does a high volume of annual sales is capable of keeping track of their customer's inventory, a company like Heritage, which specialized in high end Signature auctions, should be able to keep track of inventory.... The question is, does a high end company like Heritage depend on their customer's inventory to evaluate a poster's worth or a shipment? Doubt it. ________________________________ From: John Waldman <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 7, 2012 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Bruce vs Heritage inventory & auciton services Seems to me a professional auction company would tell the customer to do a inventory. Not everyone knows what to do when they are selling something at auction. It's not an everyday occurrence after all. A little customer service goes a long way.

My apologies... I don't know if you've been following the discussion about our submissions to Heritage and our stock -- which we had been told by Grey were tagged and inventoried -- "disappearing". We were never paid for them and they weren't returned. After Heritage only listed a portion of our posters on their inventory, Rudy Franchi told us Heritage didn't want the common posters -- like the Judge Dredd double sided transparency posters used in light box marquees we had sent in our first consignment batch -- and suggested we consign the higher valued posters to Heritage, and common posters like the aforementioned Dredd to Bruce. I posted my submission to Bruce on MOPO because there was a lot of talk about my responsibility for sending an un-inventoried lot to Heritage. In fact, some MOPOers said I was to blame for their "disappearance" at Heritage because I hadn't inventoried them or pursued Grey about their status. Well, at the same time we sent our 2nd batch of posters to Heritage, we sent an equal sized consignment batch to Bruce. Like the Heritage consignment, this consignment to Bruce was not inventoried. I haven't been posting Bruce illegally appropriated my goods because there wasn't a problem with payments or returns. The deal was straight ahead and worked without any effort on my part. And if Bruce wears a kilt or has good legs... well, I couldn't say.
