I went to the Maude auction for the first time last night 6-26.
I got ripped off for 21 dollars.
I had a trio of white japs and a trio of black japs. The selling price was 8.50.
I had a trio of silver seabrights, and a trio of golden seabrights. The highest bid was 5.00. That was a "no sale". I wasn't gonna give my birds away.
When, I went to get payed, the cashier gave me a receipt for 6 jap bantams @ 5.00 each.
I said, "oh wait a minute ma'mm. Those japs sold for 8.50 each." She argued with me, that the auctioneer had written that price down, so that's what she was gonna pay.
Then, the auctioneer came up, and I reminded him, that I "no sold" the seabrights @ 5.00, and the japs sold for 8.50.
"Oh yea, that's right", said he. Then he asked where the guy was that bought them. I told him, that he had already left.
Then, he informed me, that it was my responsibility to make sure everything was correct, before allowing the other guy to leave.
I got ripped off, and the auctioneer, and the "beauty queen wanna be" cashier done it. I won't be back. Very rude, and obnoxious, and the lady is a stuck up, conceited person, that shouldn't deal with the public.
