Complaint Review: R&R Autograph Auctions

  • Reported By:
    Dee — Brewster New York
  • Submitted:

    Tue, July 09, 2013

Has anyone else noticed that RR Auction has become virtually infamous for
auctioning fake Clash and Pretenders items in part due to Roger Epperson's
authentication (or rather lack thereof) of such?

There's one of each up for auction right now.

I've collected both bands since the early 80s and
have quite a few authentic items in my collection acquired personally so I'm not just slinging mud here.

I'm also fairly sure that an old swiss philography forum (Markus Brandes'?) was shut down due to me bringing-up this
very subject and essentially forcing them to admit that one Clash signed item
was in fact fake after receiving bids upwards of five hundred dollars. Then a
fake Pretenders item was posted, I called BS on it on these same forums, shortly
after that the forum admin announced that it would be shut down. Interesting coincidence.

Roder Epperson authenticates fake Clash and Pretenders items, that's really all there is to it I'm afraid.

I'm sure this will either be removed or vehemently shot down but nevertheless I feel sorry for
people who are bidding on and buying this garbage on RR.

This Report Speaks For Itself

#7Consumer Comment

Sun, March 31, 2013

This Report is the most lame bogus sounding report.  The OP is using several user names both on Rip Off Report and on ACML . The OP has no specific examples. Mr Epperson made a  feeble argument in defending himsel and the OP caved and did a 180.

Roger Epperson should not feed the vermin that tells lies about him. He should not even waste his time on such things. Do not sink to the level of pod scum.

Both this report, other reports on Rip Off Report including "EX-AUTHENTICATOR" , and any so-called anonomous postings on Autograph Magazine live use wording, and phrases that Mr Cyrkin likes to use.

Mr Cyrkin is the Maury Povich of Autograph Collecting.  The site attracts all sorts of piss ants and the entire site is a big dark evil circus of scandelous tripe and gossip.

The latest posting from Dee sounds so contrite that I half expect her to visit  Steve cyrkin on her knees with a follow-on on You Tube showing her kissing Cyrkins PSA-DNA 18K gold Ring as a spectacle for all to see and write about.

Every autograph dealer should go home and dip a pan into the toilet and a throw the dirty water at all their closest family members  and say " I am going to hell anyways and I may as well enjoy what I got "  You people want to hurt other people with your web of lies then start at home, hurt the people closest to you. Go home insult your families. I have no respect for a bunch of piss ants that gather around on a forum and spead filth and lies about other people. Worry about your selves.

The original post is so vague that the person that thought it up must have been half asleep. Post something really bad about R&R, blame R&R for 9-11, tell people they are devil worshippers , tell people that they practice medicine without a license. make your story good and juicy and put in some better lies. Put up a billboard with a picture of Bob Eaton and state that he practices cannabalism !   If you are going to lie then why not go all out.

Mr. Cyrkin should use his talents of cracking subscribers accounts and open a few charge accounts and use his money to build a shrine to satan all mighty. This is one evil man and people need to ignore him.

The filth and dirty lies on Autograph Magazine live are so evil and pathetic it makes my skin crawl. That site has no redeaming qualities and the only thing it is good for is teaching people how to lie and defame the charactor of other people, hurtful lies and filthy evil minds at work.

Bogus Report Filed With Stolen Words. IGNORE

Megan,

As I was wrong in starting this discussion on Autograph Mag Live and the way in which I did it, you are also wrong in your assumptions about how all this came to be.

I also think your impression of the AML is innaccurate from my limited experience as the community there seems very cohesive and intent on doing what's best for the hobby.  That's the only reason I posted there with my opinions is to get others' impressions and opinions in return.  I ended-up learning a thing or two and everyone but myself was polite and tactful despite my obnoxious behavior.

I never meant for this to somehow get posted here and I am not advertising for Steve's site with scandalous material.

I hold RR Auction in very high regard and all I have ever been concerned with is their integrity and the unquestionable authenticity of their offerings regardless of whether I might have been right or wrong in my opinions.  I have been wrong to an extent and it is my duty to not only admit it but to ensure that bogus reports like this are not taken seriously.

I only came here to rebut and unsubstantiate this bogus report made by someone who stole my words from a forum post and decided to impersonate me, as if I didn't cause enough trouble for myself as it is...

Again, this is a Bogus report with stolen words from a forum post and should be ignored as such.

Reports Like This Keep Mr Cyrkin in Business

#7Consumer Comment

Sat, March 30, 2013

Steven Cyrkin runs a site called "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" . This a a forum that Mr Cyrkin runs as owner as well as moderator. Reprts like this keeps "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" alive.

I think it is very funny that this same exact report with a phoney name appears on Cyrkins forum, it starts an online dispute and everyone gets high blood pressure in the process then it is reposted on RIP OFF REPORT in order to get people to come on ocer to  "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" to read some more crap.

"AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE"  has no value. It is a b***h site and people make accusations against others and big fights start. When things calm down it is posts like this that become Mr. Cyrkins saving grace to keep the fighting and accusations flying.

I doubt this post has any validity at all. I think it was made up to keep Mr Cykin's site going.  "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" is full of accusations, accusations, lies, lies, defamation, demamation and defication. "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" is the most ugly shameful forum and anyone associated with it should be deeply ashamed.

This post seems to be an attempt to draw R&R autographs into the controversy but they did not buy into it.  Roger Epperson became the reaction that Mr Cyrkin needed although he was not fired up enough to make it boil over. "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" has no value and it is just a forum of fighting and accusations that keep Mr Cyrkin entertained in a distorted way.

Someone needs to start an Autograph Forum with positive attributes and no negative BS . Everyone who is a member of "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" needs to take a look into a mirror and ask yourself " Am I an Adult ?  If so, then act like one and get off "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE", become a volunteer at your local hospital. Go to Church, Go to temple, become a person, become something better. Do something positive, ANYTHING !!!!  ANYTHING!!!! Leave "AUTOGRAPH MAGAZINE LIVE" Alone , PLEASE !!!!

Qualification and Addition

I also must add that these rebuttals are being posted on my own volition and out of courtesy and reparation to the people named in my false opinions and claims.  There was never any suggestion by RR or anyone else to post these and is done so as an admission of opinions and claims proven false to a large extent.  The event of years ago regarding the removal of an item for some reason due to the integrity of RR aside, the post is invalid.

I was contacted by RR regarding this "report" asking if I had posted it as I had e-mailed them about the items discussed on the other autograph forum.  This is how I came to know of this "report".

Ignore not only my original post from the other site but also these words somehow used as a false "report" on this site.

False Report Linked From Other Internet Forum

#7Consumer Comment

Fri, March 29, 2013

Firstly, I am the author of the original words on another internet site.  This report was never made by myself and was never meant to be found anywhere else but privately on another forum.  It was never meant to be a Report nor did I ever submit this as a report.

As the original author on another site, this retraction and apology should be understood as the real report as the reputation of parties named should not be questioned and I am wrong for compromising them on another site.

It is my duty to apologize to Roger and RR for comments and false accusations made as this discussion was never meant to be read anywhere except for privately on another site.  Consider this a retraction and apology for false claims made.

I did not post this as a report on Ripoff Reports nor did I authorize anyone else to do it or know how it came to be posted here.  I don't know how it was linked to this site but nevertheless it is my duty to refute and retract all these statements 100% and attest to the sterling reputation of people named.

This was an ill-conceived discussion that was undertaken on an internet forum to get other people's opinions of a couple of items up for auction and provoke a discussion.  This was never meant to target, defame, implicate or otherwise compromise the people named in this post (now this report), namely Roger and RR Auction.  The original post was incorrect, disrespectful and insulting in it's content and all claims and opinions of mine have been proven incorrect.  Again, totally ill-concieved and presented without respect for these parties.

I have since retracted my opinions and false accusations on the other forum and have a duty to do the same here.  My comments and opinions were totally ill-conceived and presented and have since been proven largely incorrect and invalid due to the expertise of Roger.

This false report is not to be taken seriously as it was never meant to be a report or claim that anyone was consciously or intentionally doing anything wrong.  As I say, my original report was wrong-headed and potentially damaging to these parties and as on the other site, I am issuing an apology to all parties and retracting statement made 100%.  I am the one responsible for wrongdoing in this case.

The reputations and business practices of people named in this post should only be taken as sterling and my comments should not only be ignored but assumed to be incorrect, false and unduly inflammatory.

Again, this is a False Report that was never submitted by me, the original author on another site, and my retraction and apologies have been issued to all parties named.  The satements in this report have been proven false and an apology issued to all parties for my misdeeds and inflammatory words.

Please ignore this False Report as requested by me, the original author of these words.

False Report Never Reported By Original Author

#7General Comment

Fri, March 29, 2013

This is a false report and as I am the original author on another site I must do what I can in reparation.

Firstly, this was a post on an internet forum that was meant to start a discussion and was never reported by me on this site.  I am filing a rebuttal because I did not post/report this as the original author, have no idea how it came to be on here and it is my duty to refute, retract and repair my own opinions and claims for clarity.

This "report" was somehow posted by someone else or somehow linked to Ripoff Report out of context and with no regard for a somewhat confidential and "in house" discussion on the same internet forum.  I made false claims and accusations based on my opinions and they have been largely proven wrong.

I am the original author of the post on these other forums and did not post a report here nor did I intend this to end-up being posted as a report on this site.  I am currently trying to determine how this report came to be and how my words ended-up being posted here.

This issue has been discussed on the other forum and I have conceded much of my opinions and false accusations on these forums issuing an apology and retraction to people named in this report, namely Roger and RR Auction.

I must say that the integrity and reputation of people named in this false report should be assumed to be sterling without question and there was never an attempt to target, defame or illegitimize these people, only an ill-concieved attempt to spark a conversation about a few items and convey my opinions.

Again, this report is to be ignored, there was never a report made by myself (the original author) and the integrity and business practices of people named are not to be questioned in any way.

This is a false report and I had no choice but to register here after the fact and rebut these false claims and assumptions in reparation for my comments from another site.
