They sent out an explanation and an apology. I don't know what else they can do to make it right.
I never received the original e-mail...
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

Well some times when people get those they unsubscribe right away saying oh great they are spamming. So I wanted to make it aware if you unsubscribed then you missed there apology.

Seems like the original e-mail didn't actually come from the Magic Auction folks.

I did come from the Magic Auction folks. Unfortunately their spam was spreading political lies. I no longer trust their ethics. I can not in good conscious do business with them.

I do not know Chris, but he has always been a decent and ethical fellow, and I don't intend to impugn him for a single incident.

It also sounded like the dealt with the individual who misused their email list. So to say you wouldn't do business with them any more is kind of over kill, it sounded like it was someone who worked for them that did it. Short of the quick apology, there's nothing they can do to rectify the situation.

Rudy you beat me to the punch
I have always noticed that everyone refers to Chris as the guy so when they talk about "he" is a nice guy or even when some have said they talked with "him" I find it very amusing. Her name is christine and his name is Joe and they are great people and as many have stated before I woudl agree that the site coudl use an update but does it work YES. I have sold and bought several items from them form Grand illusions to small parlor tricks and DVDs and every transaction has gone well. if I understand the spamming problem it was that some one with in their ranks took the liberty to send out this email obvously with out christne and joes permission or knowledge. thus that was prompted the apology and the remark that they are no longer associated or working with that person. they have been delt with. agian to say you are not going to use them for this one incident is silly and that's fine withme jsut means I have a better chance getting what I want and less of you bidding on the same effect. there are also several other sources out there and they have been mentioned as well like illusion source and ebay but the selection you get for m magic auction is much larger and the prices much better. I hope that ilusion source continues to grow and offer more items as compittion is a good thing. good luck to all and personally there really is not anything to be complaining about and this is supposed to be magicians helping magicians so instead of tearing down lets look for solutions and help out. sam

Blaming things on your employees rather than taking 100% of the responsibility yourself is a pretty standard response to an incident like this.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but their email list is obviously not secure. There's no real excuse for this kind of security lapse other than faulty management of what should be a secure email list. |

I agree that it was tacky, however not only did they take responsibility but they also included a link to a fact check article that disproves the rederick and propaganda in the original email. The apology alone would not have won me over however including the other side with the apology made it feel less self serving to me.

My apologies to Chris(tine) for assuming she was a dude. All of my correspondence with Magic Auction was via e-mail signed, simply, "Chris", and the male chauvinist pig inside me just made an errant assumption.
I have had very successful dealings with them. Correspondence was always timely. Products were top-notch.
