>>I concur wholeheartedly….you just can’t ship a
bunch of posters and claim fooul when no inventory on your part was done no
matter if you trust that identity or not. When shipping a bunch of
poster I always make an inventory and send along a copy of the inventory as
well. So when Grey or Bruce compares the list and there is a
discrepancy there is at least a record. What would have happened if
the parcel was lost in the mail, then try to stake a claim with the
insurance?

>>reading
your posts as a outsider makes me wonder about some of the things you
mention in your emails.
>>Are you trying to get a resolution, or are you
just trying to disparage Rudy Franchi and Heritage?
>>Also, do you or do
you not think that your own actions are a partial contributor to your
angst??
>>
>>Don't get me wrong.. I'm not attempting to disparage or
attack you. I understand you have a dispute, it was not to date settled in
your favor and that makes you angry.
>>
>>But some thing that you wrote
puzzles me. Your own lack of an inventory specifically.
>>
>>2 weeks ago,
I consigned a large collection of my own to Profiles in History for their
July auction. I have a book collection or hardcover Photoplay editions in
dust jackets dating from 1913 to the 1940s with additional items up to the
1990s.
>>
>>I have known Joe Maddalena for a reasonably long time and we
have done deals on both a personal level and via his auction house.
However,
regardless of my relationship with Joe, when I consigned this collection to
them of 800 books and related items, there is no way I would have let these
items leave my possession without an inventory.
>>
>>For 2 weeks prior to
them leaving my warehouse, I photographed each and every item in this
collection. Yes it was done in part so I could have file images of these
items for my image archive, but it was also done so that in case of any
disputes, I could prove to Profiles what I gave them. This is not for the
protection of myself and for the protection of Profiles. How could I
dispute
any issues without having such an inventory in my hands??
>>
>>Did I do
this time consuming job for my own pleasure??
>>No Ma'am
>>I had plenty of
other work to do, and such a task only added to my weekly work schedule
right at a time when I was actually busier than I had been in months, and
anyone who knows me knows that my work schedule is always completely full
and that I haven't been having lots of playtime in my wonderful city of Las
Vegas. It actually left me with just one day to get ready for Cinevent, and
that one day wasn't nearly enough.
>>
>>Joe may be my good friend and I
trust him 100%, but I do not leave it up to other people to protect my own
interests, as much as I would like to when I don't have any time. If I
leave
it up to someone else to protect my interests, I really don't feel I can
blame the other party no matter how many assurances I have that I can.
Furthermore, if such a situation were to land me in a lawsuit attempting to
claim some sort of duress, what portion of such duress is my own fault for
not protecting myself??
>>
>>I do remember the days when a handshake deal
was a bond, but I have also felt the betrayal of a handshake deal not being
honored, making me wish I had done what was necessary to protect myself
before any issues arose. Not completing such an action is no one's fault
but
my own.
>>
>>So the question becomes, "IF" your claims are true, what
responsibility do you think you have in not having done what was necessary
to protect yourself? Do you think this was a failure on your behalf, or do
you think that you have any responsibility at all?
>>
>>If you were to sue
Heritage, what proof would you use to prove your case? Admittedly, you made
no inventory, Charlie is 82 and you are also at an age where things become
less clear to the mind - through no fault of your own.. It just happens as
people get older. It will happen to me as well probably.
>>
>>I have
thought at times that something is missing and believed I had given it to
someone, only to later find said item in my inventory, generally somewhere
that it doesn't belong, at which point I was forced to apologize to that
person who I thought screwed me.
>>
>>You did not do what was necessary to
protect yourself, how can that be the fault of
Heritage?

referring to security differences between programs like Quicken and true
business accounting software which do not allow you to change entries
without leaving a trail.)

them to Heritage -- for your commission.

- among others - an esteemed seller on this list posted a wish that you

dead...

>>Need I remind you I defended you? This was before I sat down
and went though our Heritage file and discovered what was really going on.
This was before I went online and found that Heritage has been accused by
others for stealing items submitted for consignment.
>>
>>Last -- if you
think you have spent "a huge amount of time" on this issue, get real.
Suggesting we comply with Heritage's offer of selling without commission
fees is certainly not an email that takes a lot of time to write. After
Grey
threatened us with legal action, we have spent far more money on attorney's
fees than you have... That's a hard financial cost on top of the value of
posters sent to Heritage.
>>
>>While I appreciate your suggestion we go
bankrupt "sueing everybody involved", I will decline your advice.

the start, I said this list is not just for dealers. My emails are for the
lurking public, now and in the future.
