I just purchased the TT house for Susan at $225. Really hard to tell online in this auction, I hope there is a record! Ok it show up in my purchased account I am just waiting to be invoiced then I will pay immediately. I may know someone going to Maine to get their hand s on it quickly so there are no further disputes.
The other furniture lot (sold to her the first time and paid for and refunded) was not bid on, or as they call it "passed" (boycotted, or just over priced)
Thank you, everyone in the mini world for your support .
How can I ever thank all of you who responded on my blog post and by private email. Especially the other professional antique dealers we deal with so well.
NO Victory dance till Susan holds it in her hands! Pictures to follow. C
SUSAN JUST CALLED ME EXHAUSTED AND SAID THANK YOU NOW I CAN GET SOME REST. More Joy to follow.

That's great news for you and Susan..well done!
Thanks I am ready to pay and think I will have it picked up asap so there is no confusion. Susan siad thank you I will sleep well. Really to the buyer, she is the right person to restore it. xo C
Yay!!!! Hope she gets it soon. :D
My thoughts are with the consignee. I hope you are happy as we are happy to take this house over and love it. Would love to know it's history recent or past. Thank You CM
PS the whole housing market is down, what a mess! Thanks C
That's terrific news, CM! Even better would have been if they had withdrawn it and reinstated the February win .... but maybe they'll learn from this that the community of collectors and dealers won't let this kind of thing happen.
I still hope Susan gets the furnishings that came with the house. That would be a much better peace offering than a gift certificate! Are you still following through with the Attorney General?
Will keep you updated. I have not been invoiced yet though the money is here to pay. C
Well done CM! Yes and keep us posted!
That's great news! Now I know who to call IF I ever have a problem with an auction house! :)
You are truly a great friend!
I don't think the auction house would dare pull another stunt.Though I'll save the happy dance until Susan has her house.
Well done sweets =0)
What a story! I recently had a wierd experience with Live Auctioneers. I bid on a miniature lot online and assumed that I won when I saw the winning price was what I had bid. I contacted them, and told me that the tie goes to the person who bids on site. I am excited to see the progress and more photos of your Tynietoy House!
So so glad all of your diligence and hard work paid off. No one deserved that treatment and I'm so glad you were able to help get Susan what was rightfully hers. Such a crazy, chaotic story, and you made it a happy ending. Brilliant work my dear!
