Our first e-mail to consignors (like the one reproduced) solely lists the TYPES of items, not individual titles (the exception would be something like what CJ reproduced, where he enclosed a list and something was in the package that was NOT on their list, or vice versa).
The morning after each set of auctions start, each consignor to that set of auctions gets an e-mail listing exactly what that person has that is in that set of auctions. That way, if you sent, say, a Carrie one-sheet, then if one starts in our auctions and you DON'T get an e-mail from us the next morning (or you DO get an e-mail, but Carrie one-sheet is not on the list), then the one up is NOT yours.
The day after each set of auctions end, all consignors to that set of auctions get a detailed e-mail with a list of what each item they had sold for. At the end of the month after the month in which the items sold (on October 31st we pay for all September items. etc) each consignor who sent us items that sold in September gets payment for those items sent to them, along with an accounting that lists every item and what it sold for and what our percentage was.
So in the case of the GANGS consignor, because he sent no list, he did not get a list of what he sent until the day after the auctions started. Did he really make a mistake in sending them? We will likely never know. But I do know he is a collector who loves rarities, and likely has no plans to sell them.
But since so many thought the reported 20 examples of each was nonsense, there will surely be lots more of these offered soon, now that this thread HAS greatly publicized them, so that is a side benefit of this thread, to let people know what is truly desired, so they are more likely to offer them for sale or auction, whether on my site, on eBay, or elsewhere.
