Superior & Goldberg.....whats up with these guys???

I won one Superior lot in Monday's bidding and one Superior lot in Tuesday's bidding. Noted very clearily I wanted them delivered to Long Beach show. I called Superior Tuesday afternoon to pay and was told to call back Weds am. Did so and was to told to call back in afternoon....then call back Thursday am and now told to call back Thursday afternoon and MAYBE they could get it to Long Beach (before the show closes). Still can't pay. And Goldberg - same thing and they're not even sure they can deliver it to Long Beach. I realize they sell alot of lots but come on guys, this isn't rocket science! I have a customer number, I have a CC to pay and its only one lot. Perhaps both these auctions companies need to follow suit with PCGS and start posting estimated turn around times on their website (hmmm....calendar days or business days) for how long it takes to generate an invoice. OK, I've vented my frustration - as if anyone cares! Anyone else frustrated with these guys?

    At the pattern session, Superior said they'd deliver the lots to LB today. Whether they will or not is another question.image
  • If I posted this I would be getting replys like...there war in the middle east, unemployment, poverty, people freezing it the street, etc. and I'm worried about (fill in the blank). I'll be watching for replys to you.

    Lawman,
    Not that I have any idea what Dork is talking about, but does Goldberg sound like a mafia name? That should narrow down whatever he is trying to say image
  • I am so tempted to........nevermind.image

    silvano d'genova (or something like that) don't sound like mafia to you???

  • I called Wednesday to purchase and have Superior deliver my coin to LB Show. They did and I had a positive experience. Thank you Martin and Glenn!

  • Stay away from both as only bad experiences can be had. BM and ANR are much classier and fair.

    I have been dealing with the Goldbergs for a long time and have never had

    a bad experience nor have they ever failed to keep a promise.I consider them one of the major

    ethical houses in the coin auction field.

  • Superior and Goldberg are both decent auction houses. My favorite right now is ANR. They are one fantastic organization, and it will only get better with time.

    I remember seeing that a local Houston Investment Company "Stanford Financial Group" either purchased Superior or has taken a significant equity interest in them. I have a good friend who works at Stanford Financial Group, and I should give him a call to ask if he's aware that they have invested in the rare coin business...

    Any other forum members with observations or insight into Stanford's participation in Superior ??

    I agree with you on ANR. Great service and attention to details.

    I'm recommending them to my clients as "the" auction house to use now.

    Asking tem to deliver lots to a show is asking a bit much.

    Russ, I was thinking the same thing. Looks like someone with a grudge to me.

    Might be a grudge or it might be someone promoting a relatioinship they have or a piece of the pie they own.

    Who knows?
