Hi Bruce, Nice to hear from you.
Yes, I did realize the prices that were published and they paid me promptly for everything less a very reasonable/negotiated commission. It was a pleasure to work with them. As a matter of my standard business practice, I like to work with different companies so that I don't put all my eggs in one basket. When I received Richard's invitation to join his auction site I saw it as a potential alternative to Ebay so I attempted to contact him for more information. That's it - very simple. I've purchased from you Bruce with excellent results and would, of course, consider to work with you one day.

I, and I am sure many others, have seen some of the sky-high results at Profiles in History (last year and others) and have wondered if all of those sales were consummated, and if so, if it was at the listed prices. Given that you were a known consignor of some of those pieces that had reported sky-high results, can you confirm for us that in all cases you received those amounts (less their commissions)? And if so, I think the question on everyone's lips is, why would you then consign anywhere else? And if not, I think the question on everyone's lips is, why don't they set the record straight and reveal what did sell, and at what prices? I am sorry for all the ill feelings this topic has generated, but I would love to know the answer to the above questions, and if they are answered, some good will have come out of it.

I thought that you didn't receive my email but now it's come to my attention that you are jealous of my successful results with Profiles in History last year. I have more posters in my collection and just wanted to help you out by bringing some high end titles and see how we could do together. I was also going to refer other big collectors to you. How odd that you show such keen jealousy - I thought that your site's intention was to bring more sellers to help build up the business. Unfortunate and perplexing that you're taking another position. I can't understand why the results of my Profiles auction would have anything to do with selling more posters on your site.
