I'm going to pop my head back in here for a few.

I'm sorry for my typing errors earlier. I was taking a quick break at work, and typed as fast as I could.

I think I'm the typing errors mentioned by the mod above.

My point was made, but the reading was a little jumbled!

Continue on with the thread!

this has become complicated...

We have a new member making an accusation. But, this member has not come forward with a name, location or even a single description of what items have been taken, or any evidence that the event even happened.. simply vague allegations and innuendo...

But we also have the other party, who has been notified, but so far has not provided any information to the contrary..

Unless the Forum receives valid or credible information, the thread will be removed.....

He has not been suspended...Only his selling privileges have been temporarily revoked until some facts are presented! Call it a precautionary measure.

We can all speculate, but it is just that, a guess at the moment as to what's what.

How about a description of the watches that were heisted? I'm having trouble understanding why there is no record of the serial numbers, whether on the receipt or not, and a simple follow-up with the watch descriptions.

Come on. What auction house? Which watches were stolen? I can build a persona and start throwing around accusations, it's not all that difficult. We need more information. If this came from a credible source then so be it, but really, are we to take this for face value?

WOW!! When posting my first notice, I never thought this would go so far! I am glad everyone is taking this seriously, but I was just simply trying to throw out a friendly warning! I guess I was naive in thinking this was a good idea. If you look at our website www.jenack.com, you can see from our post sales that we do not EVER post serial numbers. The reason being???...... We have never had cause to. All items come to us on consignment, and we sell them at public auction. We have never had an issue like this, and honestly, have never had cause to take down serial numbers, just saleable descriptions and photos.
I will leave this post with an apology for "wasting" people's time. My thought of possibly preventing further sale of these items was obviously, again naive. My bosses are handling the legal parts of it, along with the detectives, so the difference between civil, and legal and grand larceny and a bad check.... they really don't mean much to me.. I was simply relaying an incident that happened to us, that I thought might potentially affect this community. We are not looking to dig up dirt, we just want to get the check covered or the merchandise back. And I guess you all are right, innocent until proven guilty, so I guess the best thing is to apologize for the original listing! I cannot provide you with the answers you are looking for. Yes, we have a copy of his driver's license and a form he filled out for a Out of State Resale Certificate, to be exempt from sales tax. The name and address on the license match the person that was there, so if there is any way that this Mr. David Shulman has been the victim of identy theft, PLEASE, contact us Sir, so that we can try to get this cleared up.
Oh, and if having spelling or gramatical errors makes me even more unreliable, let me apologize for that too!

The time on this thread is ticking away and we're getting irritated by the lack of response by both parties seemingly involved in this affair.

We will have no option but to err on the side of caution if this continues to be the case.

I was just reading the posts from overnight, I missed some sorry!
I am not at work today, but will be there tomorrow! I will make a list of the watches/clocks purchased by the person using the name/ID of David Shulman (I think that is a more PC way to word it, right?).
I am not trying to be "elusive", and if the moderators feel the best thing is to remove the thread, I understand. You are a tight knit group that are looking for FACTS, I get that. I apologize for not being prepared for this.
anybody wanting a list of the watches emailed to them, please let me know, I will try go get it done tomorrow afternoon.

Robyn1870,

Just post the watch descriptions here at least, serial number letter plus a few digits would be most helpful. We also need a contact number for any information.

Personal PMs and emails seems a bit extensive.

I am with Paul. Lack of response by both parties is irritating.

Seriously, let's get real info out and get on with it.

Robyn, I appreciate your understanding.

If I were in Rolex1's shoes, I'd hope that something tangible would be displayed with the heads up. We look forward to having the information regarding the incident. The details are rather important.

We have to consider things such as a bitter divorce, and an ex-wife attempting to smear a name. Also the possibility that a shady seller is on the forums. It could be two business partners who split ways, and the other partner has an idea to tarnish the other.

Not that the story is untrue, but it is surely unconfirmed at this point. Please take the time to share the information that has been requested. If you were a victim of a crime, you should be able to speak openly about the event.

What upstate auction house are you working for?

What information do you have regarding the watches involved?

What jurisdiction is handling the case?

I'm not asking for your identity, and don't think that has much to do with the incident, but the other information should be easily shared with our community.

Look forward to hearing from you Thursday.

Am I reading this right?

Auction house that sells consignment watches without registering model and serial #'s?

The auction house Jenack.com has an office manager by the name of Robyn listed on their website. I'm interested to see how this one plays out.

I don't know all the details either on this one; however, as someone who ran a very high end art and antique auction house (considerably larger than this one being talked about), I can say it never crossed our minds to document a watch serial number either. Nor did we have anyone experienced in taking off a bracelet to do so (at the time I was there, I didn't know the serial number was on the lugs). I can vouch for the seemingly unlikely story that there are no serial numbers. We were just sellin' stuff...

As to the other stuff in this thread, I have no idea.

I'm on the edge of my seat with this thread, as someone who has considered buying items from Rolex1 I really want to know what the deal is. He needs to come forward and say something. Nothing is certain yet but the silence from his end is a bit disturbing, no?

Name of Auction house: William Jenack Auctioneers - www.jenack.com
I am the office manager, and have been there for 14 years, we are a small company and run our business like a family business. I myself do not have any monetary interest in this matter myself, but feel personally slighted by this man, as like I said, we are a very close knit "family".
First thing when I get to work tomorrow, I will post the descriptions of the 25 items purchased by this person.
Thank you to "Numismatist" for putting it out there, that it is common that auction houses do NOT always supply serial numbers.

If they were accusations against me, I think by now I would have been on telling my side or stating that I never heard of this person before... or something... anything. But nothing? hmmmm


Robyn, you guys dont have a policy on checking up on checks or bank accounts before you give up the merchandise?

Robyn has posted a decent amount of competent information thus far with quick responses to questions and a promise to deliver more information soon. Rolex1 has said nothing, nothing is certain as of right now but it's not looking good for Rolex1.

This guy gave us his driver's license, and two "references" that we did call and check out before accepting his check. This guy is a smooth talker and had all the right information, he even talked of how he sold the stuff - some sold on Ebay, some went in his "storefront", and some he just keeps for himself. He even talked of making the trip back for our next sale, and doing business with us in the future. We had NO reason to believe this man was going to be an issue.
After the fact, we tried to google his name and came up with an unrelated arrest a few years ago, and decided to try to dig a little deeper. We found a really old post on this site about a gentleman that had a problem with someone by the same name. That issue wound up being resolved and Rolex1 apologized, said he was in an accident, and made good on his 1/2 of the deal. That was why I decided to try the original posting, thinking I could warn potential customers, and maybe even perhaps get the guy to make good on his payment.

Gotta agree with Eddie here.... why hasn't this guy responded yet? If it were my name being "slandered" and my selling privileges being revoked I'd be fumbling over myself to clear my name.... it's now been 2 days.....

Robyn joins here with one post to warn us of the actions of a member and to get money back. NO B/S etc and you all want more upon more upon more information. Why on earth would Robyn join her just to smear someones name for no reason when in fact it is with the DA and they recieved a Dud cheque? Who would make that up upon just joining a site? There was a specific reason the OP joined this site and the post was it.
A lot of you either have trust issues or wild imaginations.

edit. innocent until proven guilty blah blah blah, i can assure you whatever you all say, you ( personally) would not be dealing with this rolex1 right now. AND that is what matters

I for one thank the OP for the post.
