Kaptain Kirk's Auctions Kirk West, the owner of Kaptain Kirk's Auctions seemed used to dealing with unhappy customers. Very cold, very matter of fact, very comfortable being a charlatan. Very, very sad. Rockford Illinois

Unfortunately, I read the other Ripoff Reports only after I won the autographs. I actually met Kirk West, the owner, in person, and thought maybe since we had a bit of history, he would treat me differently. Of course, that didn't happen. The substance of the interaction is similar to the other complaints. He's just simply a con artist selling forged autographs. I sent the forgeries back, and to add insult to injury, he offered to resell them at a 33% commission. I told him I wanted nothing to do with perpetuating this scam and would just chalk it up to a learning experience. With the help of the internet, it's just a matter of time before he's busted. I just wish I hadn't been caught up in the wake. The world has enough woes, they don't need charlatans like Kirk taking advantage of the inherent good nature of others.
