GOT SCAMMED WITH FRAUDULENT ITEM!!!
I got scammed by American Memoribilia for over $500!!! The praise comments are obviously written by American Memorabilia!!! I made 2 purchases from their May 2010 auction and both items arrived not even close to the description. The first item was an autographed magazine advertised as EX/MINT condition...it arrived in poor to very poor condition. The second item was even more of a dis-appointment...was an autographed book advertised as a JSA Authenticated item. It arrived with the autograph half rubbed off...and it was not even authenticated at all!!! Its worth sh-t !!! Both items are completely worth sh-t!!! I called to complain and ended up dealing with a lady named Keita, who just gave me excuse and BS and more BS. She says she'll shoot me an email to elborate more in detail but Ive given up...theres really nothing she can elaborate on!!! Of course they wont even consider giving me my $ back so there isnt much I can do except for warn others DONT DEAL WITH AMERICAN MEMORABILIA unless your prepared to get scammed!!! They are not to be trusted and deserve to go to jail for fraud!!! Why arent there any type of agency to investigate and shut down scam companies like these??? Instead they just keep going and going month after month, year after year!!! WTF

bad business practice
Victor and Kieta DO NOT pay on time! They have owed me money for items that sold in acutions 2 YEARS AGO! They claim that they don't have the money - but they have money to purchase new condos and invest in nightclubs.
This is how their business should work:
You consign item to them
They list your item and sell it
They collect the money
They give you your money
This is how they run their business:
You cosign item to them
They list your item and sell it
They collect the money
They spend the money
You call for your money
They don't answer
I don't care what they say about their "new payment method" they are flat out liars. Please read what everyone has to say about them. The common complaint is that they do not pay.
It's as simple as that.

doesn't pay
Do not consign to these guys (Victor and Kieta) (American Memorabilia)...! They do not pay you and they will say they are going to pay you, but never do. I have been waiting over a year and still no money! My only recourse is to take them to court. When you tell them your going to take them to court they do not care. They will keep giving you excuse after excuse and never pay. I have contacted the Las Vegas PD. and an attorney. I assure you that if they owe you money you will never get it and this will be your only recourse. I have read time after time complaints about them. Its just not fair! They make money off their consignors and never pay them..Again... DO NOT CONSIGN TO AMERICAN MEMORABILIA!!!

FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD
DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT CONSIGN WITH THIS COMPANY AS THEY WILL NOT PAY YOU. THEY HAVE NOT PAID ME IN OVER A YEARS TIME. THEY WILL NOT RETURN YOUR CALLS AND HAVE RIPPED OFF MANY MANY PEOPLE. DO NOT READ INTO THE POSITIVE COMPLAINTS AT ALL. THESE COMMENTS ARE POSTED BY THERE EMPLOYEES TO HELP TURN AROUND A BUSINESS RUN BY COMPLETE DEGENERATES. THEY MENTION THE NEW SYSTEM. HOW CAN AN AUCTION HOUSE NEED A NEW SYSTEM, I HAVE BEEN BIDDING IN AUCTIONS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, AND THE SYSTEM IS ALWAYS SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO WORK FINE FOR ALL OF THE LEGITIMATE ONES. THE PEOPLE HAVE MISMANAGED OTHER PEOPLE MONEY AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. MARK MY WORDS THEY WILL NOT PAY YOU, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE OWNER KIETA HAS FAILED IN EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE IN HER WELL DOCUMENTED CAREER AND CONTINUES TO DO SO TODAY ADDING FRAUD TO HER PATHETIC RESUME, SHE IS ONE MALADJUSTED IDIOT. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST APPLIED FOR A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN TO PAY OFF THEIR DEBTORS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL AND MAKING PEOPLE HAVE TO EARN THE MONEY THEY ARE OWED. I BEG EVERYONE TO GO TO A DIFFERENT AUCTION HOUSE(eac gallery, lelands, grey flannel, mastro, premier, scp auctions) HELL, EBAY WOULD EVEN BE A BETTER CHOICE. REMEMBER THE SAYING WHAT HAPPENS IN LAS VEGAS STAYS IN LAS VEGAS AND THIS INCLUDES YOUR HARD EARNED COLLECTABLES. YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE I LIVE HERE WITH THE CRETIN. WITH ALL THE NEW POLICIES SHOULD COME A NEW BUSINESS NAME "UN AMERICAN MEMORABILIA.

Lies, Fraud Trust Morals
American Memorabilia Sold a hockey jersey for me a told me I would be paid in 60 days.They owe me 2600 dollers an I have not seen a dime yet. I hear the are hiring staff and continue to produce their catalouge. By the way they sold my jersey back in november 2008. I was unemployed at the time and needed the money. They ignored me and kept my money. I just recieved their latest update on Aug 10th 2009 offering as a solution that I send more items to them. How about going out and getting a loan to pay your bills. I tried a lawyer in Las Vegas he wants 800.00 dollers up front to try and collect it. What else can I do? Can we form a class action suit? Any Ideas anyone has Im up for.We should show up at one of their shows and demand our money. Any one with answers please contact me at [email protected] Thank You Rick |

FRAUD - NO PAYMENT
Victor and Kieta are more than 1 year past due on approximately $1500 owed me from two prior auctions. They will not reply to calls or emails. They floated their business and paid their own commission, sent my memorabilia away, and still have not paid me. This is highly unethical and must be illegal as well. I will never do business with them again.

Quick Payment with New System I got paid
I have been doing business with American Memorabilia for a while. They did owe us funds from auctions. We have gotten paid with the new structure of their site. We got paid 24 hours within the auction close. American Memorabilia has paid me and is now paying faster than any other sports auction house.
