Iconic Auctions and Press Pass Collectibles (Again)

At the bottom of the listing, Iconic Auctions lists this Petty 12" as "Final Price Including Buyer's Premium" for $963.09 with 5 bids which would lead any reasonable person to think this has been sold (or won by the highest bidder) for that price.  Nope.  Next day it's back up on ebay on Press Pass Collectibles site for a $1499 "buy it now."  I know most auction houses have reserves -- but this is clearly deceptive and happens with MANY of the items auctioned at Iconic which makes all those sky-high auction results suspect.  Care to respond Jeff Woolf?

A Garbo check had caught my eye in the Iconic Auctions April 5th sale.  It closed with 3 bids at $541.20 (inclusive of a 20%  buyer's premium).

It's currently back up on eBay again, with Press Pass Collectibles, at a Buy It Now of $799.99 obo.

If his auctions said Sold or Reserve not met it would resolve the issue.

I'd want interest. That is insane.

Apparently they're delicate geniuses over there. FB autograph groups seem reluctant to criticize them in public.

They probably thought it didn't sell for a high enough price and decided to keep it. It'll probably show up in a future auction or go back on Press Pass's site.

2 items were certed and 2 "TPA" so I had them send the 2 TPA's out - never to be returned apparently. One day they're at BGS, another day one is at PSA. I said let's at least complete the other 2 but that was a problem somehow. Interesting business model.
