So I went to the Treasure Hunter Road Show when it was here this week in Harrisburg. I got my number and waited about 2.5 hours till it was called. I brought with me baseball cards from the early 80's - 90's (which I have no certainty to there worth) and a box of comic books late 70's - 90's (which I know exactly what they are worth, including condition).

What they failed to mention, but now has since been changed as of today on their website (well for the baseball cards anyway) that are only willing to look at 1970 and before baseball cards, AND, 1962 and before comic books.

Not in the ads in the newspaper or radio, not in the articles, not online (till today) and not when we registered did anyone mention ANY of this, even though when I registered I advised the guy what I had.

I should be glad though that my wife was with me, or it would have gotten very ugly. DO NOT SELL ANYTHING TO THEM!!! or really go to any event, not only, as I did expect, are they low balling, but they will change what they accept, but not bother to tell anyone what they are actually buying until you have waited hours
this is the beginning of my campaign to raise awareness, and force change with this.

While the term crooks in the general sense of the term may be arguable, they are deceitful in business, and got called on it, this, THIS makes them CROOKED, and thus crooks. Also I never said they are or were under any obligation to buy my items, but stating that they are interesting in seeing items that, until they now today fixed their site, to potentially purchase, and IN FACT do not have any intention of doing so further shows this. THey are very dishonest, also I have done further research, and they have contacted and or responded to indviduals online and over the phone who have advised specifically what they had, were told to bring their items in to be evaluated, and then once there asked the same questions I was as to age of items (being either sports collectibles or comic books) a question that was answered over the phone or online, and when answered at an event, their items were not looked at at all, but told like me no interest.

Additional fact I found out today, had a conversation with my father who told me about the event today, and he had called in inquire about what they were purchasing prior to telling me, and I know at least in regard to my baseball cards, advised them of their age since he knew I had problems with a local card shop dicking me around wanting to give me less then the gas money to get there. So even better I was lied to by proxy. FUCKING CROOKS!!!!

If you read in my previous posts, I neither expected they would necessarily give me an offer of any price I would accept, NOR did I have any, ANY expectations that I would or would not sell anything, HOWEVER, the deceipt used in not advising anyone, or WORSE YET, misrepresenting themselves to me and others of an interest in items to EVALUATE, and potentially offering something, and then having not just myself, but MANY, MANY others that they didn't even LOOK at our items after such long waits, THIS IS BULLSHIT

If you read, again, I NEVER SAID I EXPECTED THEM TO BUY OR NEED TO BUY ANYTHING
but, I did expect them to actually LOOK, and EVAULATE my items, and more so advise myself or others, LIKE MY OWN FATHER WHO SPECIFICALLY STATED AGE of some of my items, and then have myself or others wait HOURS, and then OOPS SORRY, FUCK YOU

What they owed me, and anyone is honesty in business, and whereas they have corrected somethings as of TODAY, on their website, that I KNOW IN FACT I am responsible since I saw the employee there LOGGING IN to change things on their website, and from I found out from some people I know involed with the hotel it is at more then a few individuals in my community reporting them to the Better Business Bureau, which I am not sure if they belong to or not, but I am certain no business wants

They advertise, or have advertised a WILLINGNESS, to look at items, but have, and DID advise they wanted to look at at least some of my items, BUT DID NOT LOOK, nor HAD ANY INTEREST in looking AT ALL, this, THIS DECEPTION, THIS IS MY PROBLEM

I very much understand that if I or anyone wants a certain price to post things any variety of places online, but, I expect to have my items ACTUALLY EVALUATED AS PROMISED, not a general, OH THAT ISN'T BEFORE A CERTAIN YEAR THAT WE DIDN't TELL YOU AND IN FACT FOR SOME OF YOUR ITEMS LIED ABOUT WANTING TO EVALUATE FOR A PRICE, this is the CROOKED deceitful practice I take issue with.

There was no mix up, and whereas I am not interesting in suing them, and by the way if it induces a headache in you, don't read it, but none the less, It was the dishonesty that is at issue here, having not only myself, but many others waste time, and thank god I live near by or money to drive for such an event on promises of giving some price or another, the fact is if they had previously posted on their site, or in their ads, or told the TRUTH to my father over the phone who then in turn told me, then we wouldn't have a problem, but they did not, and while I am sure practices like these occur regularly, they should not, and need not.

Again, If they looked at my things and low balled a nothing offer even, but took the time to actually do as promised, no issue then, it was the lying and waste everyone's time, especially anyone who brought items to be evaluated, and more so, unlike me, anyone who would have driven a distance to do so.
