| Highly advertised Amelia Auction House Flea Market Auction on St Rt 125, Amelia, Ohio. Auctioneer Warren Hagge. Side of building says Amelia Auction House. Been there since July. People got calls from the Gutter Topper main office, on behalf of Tony Ianelli, at 4111 Founders, Batavia, Ohio telling them to pick up their items 11/25 between 11 to 4. The auctioneer did not arrive on the premise till around 2. Tony Iannelli on a whim felt it was more profitable to do close it down failing to do the right thing of selling off the items held in the two buildings. The auction was supposively suspended two weeks prior, but come to find out there was two auctions conducted with the auctioneer selling his own items. This permitted everyone unsecure access to the items being held for sale. They said that day of pick up there was not going to be an auction that night but that evening they had an auction anyway selling peoples stuff. He did not have permits to run an auction house under the rules of the state of ohio. The state was contacted and has failed to take care of the situation. If you wrote a check you wrote it to the amelia flea market not to the auctioneer. He did not serve anyone with court papers to leave the building just phone calls of what would happen to their things. This shows little disrespect of others and the laws. |

The person responsible for running the auction in Amelia was a woman named Gina. She was the one who presented herself as a professional and an expert in the field. The arrangement she had with Tony Iannelli was to use the property, which he owned, for such auction. Tony had no other dealings in the actual auction. Gina left, without notice and while Tony Iannelli was out of the country. and along with her took all paperwork and profits. She made no to little notification to the people that actually had stuff in the auction or any plans for them to retrieve their items and only a promise to sent them money if due. If the auction continued it was because she did not make proper notification to the auctioneer who simply carried on business without her. I'm sure If you are going to look at misconduct I would look to Gina, the auction expert, who ran out when no one was looking.
I have known Tony Iannelli for a long time and know that he has the highest of ethics when it comes to business. He is a well respected businessman with the repuation of uncompromising moral character. His only error was being naive enough to trust an imposter to be who and what she said she was and to deliver on her promises, not leaving someone else to pick up the pieces when she was done. I don't believe anyone who has had recent dealings with her can say the same thing about her moral and ethical conduct..
The message that was left sounds a bit like sour grapes written by someone with an ax to grind. The reason the state has probably not responded to you is because there is no wrong doing here except by the actual person who ran out. This person feels, for some apparant reason, like they have been scorned and rather than being the professional that should prevail here, it is more fitting to express some misplaced anger by fitting the saying... ".Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned" |
