Everything is well laid out

Everything is well laid out. I just wish people
bidding would not wait until the last second
to up their bid. You either want the item or you don't.
That just drags out the process. You are timely in
closing out he auction and getting on with billing and shipping. Shipping is always the best.

Men's Pocket Watch

Though the pricing is high, the quality of items is outstanding. The pocket watch which I purchased is exquisite. From the time of purchase, to the time of receival was only 10 days. Outstanding!

Shipping is overpriced

Buyer’s premium 18%, okay fine but then can you not overcharge so much for shipping?

Hi Jason, Thanks for the review. Unfortuntely our shipping costs for material, labor and shipping labels continue to increase. I do think we offer some of the most affordable shipping rates in the business and you can always check out Live Auctioneers live ship program to see the difference between that and our in-house rates. We do appreciate your business and will continue to do what we can control shipping costs.

Great place with which to do business!

The auctions here have good pictures, and excellent descriptions of the items. Measurements are given on single items, and grouped items will usually have the largest item's measurements. Flaws are carefully noted and pictured. And the packing for shipping is absolutely exceptional. Have had multiple experiences, and absolutely ZERO problems.

Online bidding $$

I seldom bid online due to the expenses. Buyers premiums and shipping costs can be somewhat understandable, but I do rely on accurate catalog description reports. Mainly, since I was a catalog specialist for years at an auction house in the east. Please call for reports ahead of the sale, as I should have done. Attaching a post-it note to my object in the shipment was a little discouraging. Overall, I would buy from again.

Hi Wendell, Thanks for the feedback and I'm sorry we left a post-it note on your object. Greg
