Rocco gets a photo on the web site. No wonder you feel you have to stick up for the fast paying AMI. Congrats.

Classic! Nice going, Tuckman.

Nice job! AMI is truly run by a bunch of geniuses.

AMI in trouble? Rocco to the rescue!

I am waiting for you to put your money where your mouth is like the 3 people who had the balls to call me to buy REAL GAMEUSED MEMORABALIA. LOVE WALDO

Rocco,

My apologies for thinking your postings were from a flake.

Good luck and welcome aboard.

I, too, want to extend my apologies, Rocco, for thinking that your posts were from a completely mad, raving lunatic. - - - - - That was absolutely insane thinking on my part and I don't know what would have ever given my disturbed mind reason to think such a thing. I hope I do not receive any responses from hecklers suggesting that it may have been your posts that caused me to think this - - - - - because that would be an utterly unreasonable suggestion.

I cannot believe all the GREAT BUSINESS all of this controversy has given me.Thank you,and I would love to do business with you.

THANKS,and I would love to do business with you.

Rocco, AMI is lucky to have someone like you speak on their behalf and offer a clear reflection of the kind of people who run their auction house. Thanks for coming here and showing us an inside look at AMI. I think your presence here will have a major effect on people's opinion of AMI and their willingness to do business with them in the future.

There is no room for a voice of reason in these American Memorabilia Rocco threads - - - - - so you'll have to leave. Sorry, but we just can't have anyone chiming in with intelligent comments. As a side note: don't you think that these AMI Rocco threads actually serve as a perfect metaphor for American Memorabilia's auctions and business dealings? - - - - - or is it mettafour?

Well, I have to admit that seeing this site devolve into sheer anarchy is good for more than a few laughs, but it tops the list to see AMI's "organized" response to a simple post complaining about late-payment.

I've seen Mastro, Lelands, REA, and SCDA all come to this and the VBC forum to defend themselves or make public statements to clarify their policies. But I have never seen it handled as ineptly and hilariously as American Memorabilia.

AMI Guys: I humbly offer a couple pointers for future strategies of Internet damage control:

1. Don't upset your consignors and/or buyers.

2. Failing #1, and you find yourself on the receiving end of a customer complaint publicly aired on a this site, if you decide to respond, do so in a concise, honest way which both explains what (in your view) led to the dispute and then what you are going to do to remedy the situation.

3. Do NOT scramble your forces to flood said site with anonymous infomercial style endorsements of your auction house and business dealings and do NOT send a barely literate comedian (that would be Rocco) to be your public spokesman.

Three simple rules.

Good luck.
