I just won a small claims case against Gold Standard Auctions. All you'll get there is some good looking junk. Don't be fooled by those who say you have no recourse. The way courts look at things have changed. When not able to inspect in person, you, the buyer is relying on the knowledge of the auction house professionals that deal with a specific commodity regularly, thus being considered "merchants" according to the UCC article 2. So when the knowledgeable merchant labels the lot with a grade and a value, just like Gold Standard Auctions does, that is information relied upon to make the purchase, thus creating an "Express Warranty", a statement of fact or a description of the goods that's made a basis of the sale.
Gold Standard Auctions isn't even a registered business in the state of Texas according to their Secretary of State. Not only is Christian Lyche ripping everyone off, he has also not been paying his taxes for the last 3 years. He's a 23 year old dumb dumb!
Sue him.... you'll win.
