This auction house has simply turned their back on their obligation to sell the gun to the person with the highest bid. They said it was a software problem. It was actually a greed problem. I'm still not sure how far I want to go with this, I don't know if the gun is worth the hassle. Life is pretty short. An attorney did contact the auction house and the Better Business Bureau in their town as well as the folks who govern an auctioneers license. I get so mad I could kick a teddy bear a country mile when lied to like this. I'd think a good old fashioned bare knuckle match would be most appropriate here but the legal system really frowns on that type of action these days. Jerry

Jerry just make their lives as miserable as possible and cost them as much money as you can by refering people you know to other dealers and auction houses. That is the best payback....! I know I have already cost one major auction house over $65,000 in sales (I know Jim (owner) doesn't care, but so far I have cost him close to 10K in commission over a $5,000 gun and that number is still climbing after he told me to "pound sand" (or there abouts,won't even refund my buyers premium...)

The auction house guy, Dave Marshall told me the gun actually sold for less than I bid! Now that truly takes nerve! Jerry

My attorney just sent the paperwork to me he received back from Allen & Marshall. I have the name of the guy who bought the gun. He did get it for $100.00 under my bid. This appears to simply be a very poorly run auction, one I won't ever bid in again. Jerry

I would need to hire an attorney in Maryland to pursue this any further. I'm not sure it's worth it, I have no idea how the courts would handle this or how it would be viewed in a court of law. Any Maryland attorneys out there with any ideas? Jerry
