Deception

Hello. I have 3 negative experiences.
1) Won a lot from Bolton auction rooms. Lotte did not ship.
2) won the lot from Anthemion. Lot is broken.
3) Won a lot from pro auction limited. Lot's broken.
I paid for all the lots. When I asked for help at the-seleroom.com, where the auction was held, I was told that it's none of their business, they will try to clarify. The-seleroom.com ended up blocking my accounts more and no longer responding.
Watch out

An excellent portal

An excellent portal. Easy access to a wonderful range of auctions, to suit all tastes and pockets. The Saleroom has changed everything for me. In the past, my physical attendance at most auctions was impossible (let alone two on the same day!).

They ban you for an email going in your spam folder.

They ban you across the platform, in the middle of bidding, with no warning, because of an email going in your spam folder. They have phone number and postal address if the email system falls short

i was able to bid on items and see all the items i was interested in , in the same in screen position , if some went above what i wanted to pay my focus then changed on the remaining lots , so i was able to stay within budget, with this method i didnt get carried away and felt in control most importantly only spent what i wanted to , well worth the extra few percentage costing

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. Every time I have used the Saleroom to bid for me I have secured the item at a price lower than my maximum bid. I have every confidence that they will do the job of bidding a lot better than I would. The last time I used them I was travelling that day and would not have been able to go on line to the live auction. The salesroom did all the work for me. Wonderful.

Easy Secure Auction Shopping

The site is user friendly and had the required security to make it safe. Plus it is rather fun to bid on line. The notifications of what's coming up in auctions is also very good.
