Business ProfileforLive Auctioneers LLC

I provided a pre-bid on Wednesday April 25, 2024 on an item on Live Auctioneers.com. On the following Friday, in the afternoon, another auction business, Milestone, put a ******************* on my registration which took me out of the Saturday bidding process. They claimed I had not paid for an item I bid on and won on April 9, 2019! Four years after I bid on the item, won, and paid for it. I know I paid for it because I have it in my possession. I tried to explain all this to Live Auctioneers but they did respond, but ignored my real issue. I sent an email to milestone and they have ignored me completely. After 7 or 8 text messages/emails Live Auctioneers finally took some action with an email and a copy to me. The email began with the salutation, Dear *****,. Clearly a form letter intended to shut me up and shut down my complaint. The item sold for $950.00, an amount at least $50.00 under my pre-bid. There is no doubt in my mind that I was scammed. Here is why. The item which Milestone claimed I owed for would never have been sent to me without me first paying for it. The claim was 4 years old and I never received any contact over those 4 years. I checked and I do not even have a registration with Milestone so I cannot even sign into their website. The black from ********* came on a late Friday with the auction scheduled for Saturday, a weekend in which I could not have been able to clear it though I tried. Live Auctioneers took the ******************* at face value without exploring whether it was true and verified nor were they willing to mediate the issue. Live Auctioneers simply blackballed me and prohibited me from any and all bidding. Then Live Auctioneers dummied up some email designed to appease me that began with Dear *****. I believe that some person or group arranged to buy the item for $950.00 way ahead of the actual auction day That someone did not intend to have any other bidder and when I did that person or group took me out so as to not mess up the deal. Furthermore, Live Auctioneers knew about the prior arrangement and played dumb. Either that or they really are dumb. What reputable auction house would take an unproven, unverified negative remark that was clearly challenged.No doubt I was scammed.
