Funny e-mail from Mastro - consign for August to pay April auction bills!

Sorry - I had to read this with a BIG smile across my face ;-)

" ...As every one seems to agree, the material presented in this auction is staggering to say the least! We have had a number of inquiries from consignors regarding sending us consigned material for the August auction, to be used as advances in order to alleviate some the financial burden that will undoubtedly arise from April Auction purchases..."

I just got the same email and thought the same thing... "in order to alleviate some the financial burden that will undoubtedly arise"...

I can just imagine the scenario at home..."hun, I'm going to have to consign our firstborn to Mastro to pay for the T206s I just won!!"

yup , got the same email and laughed. it's not enough for them to make 30% from your purchase but they want o make 30 % from your payment also. that said , I am sure there are people that will be doing this .

I rec'd it also.
It makes alot of sense, their prices on the current auction are out of this world, w/ several days remaining.
So many will want a piece of the pie for the August auctions, so I'm sure this simple campaign will get lots of new material, and the Mastro Express will keep chugging along....jay

You will see a jump in MLB's
game used uniforms for the next mastro auction.

These players/collectors will jump right into this.

Hello Mastro ?

I wonder if they'll start a loan sharking gig like the local card rooms have. Borrow $10k today at 20% interest. When you go to pay, you're informed the interest rate is now 40%.
