experiences with flatsigned

[Sue H]

Not too impressed with this company. I bought a book from them and
they ignored my two questions. First they ignored my email entirely.
After a couple days I emailed again. nothing. After I got the book I
emailed again and told them I was about to leave feedback and they'd
not answered my emails... and they responded but did not answer my
questions. Here were my questions:

1) they claim to be UACC dealers/members but would not answer what
their number was

2) the book I bought was part of a special Easton Press signed edition
series, but the number was missing. Ie ______ of 1500. So I asked
why this happened and was the book a reprint or something else.

I got a response back asking me what a UACC number was and they
ignored my other question entirely.

Then they had a Gerald Ford signed book (actually they had 99 of
them). They offered it as 189.00 buy it now or "Best Offer". I
offered 150 for it. I didn't get a response. Then someone bought one
because their count went down to 98. When that happened, they upped
their price to 389.00. I probably would have bought the book at
189.00 but their lack of emailing concerns me.

anyone have experiences with them? I am not impressed. I was looking
at three other books (all expensive) and so screw them, I will not
bid. I keep getting tempted but I think until they start
communicating, I'll warn people about them.

Sue,
If you go to http://www.uacc.org and look under the Registered Dealers
section, I don't think I found
www.flatsigned.com listed as a registered dealer under that name. It
might be with another name, but not
with flatsigned. But you can go to http://www.uacc.org and check
things out.

I think that Flatsigned's real name is Tim Miller?

It may be. I am not too concerned about the book unless they found a
way to forge Easton Press (which says on the printed page that it's
part of the signed editions series). But I would be very wary of
buying from them anything else. Not that I noticed fakes (I did not)
but because of their customer service. I appreciate the post... if
anyone has any experiences with them, please let me know (and thanks
about the Harper Lee opinion, that's something I'd love to get.... and
I see other names like a lot of Pearl Bucks, and other rare names
where they have quite a few so it's somewhat disconcerning because
they have literally thousands of these books. If new, I could see but
old ones? Highly suspect.

do a search for Flatsigned selling forged Harper Lee signatures in copies of
To Kill a Mockingbird many years ago.
