I found the whole experience of dealing…

I found the whole experience of dealing with them very good and they were most accommodating with my collection from the saleroom in these difficult times. I will definitely be watching their sales to see if anything takes my fancy.
Great team and items described well in the catalogue.

Never Again!!

Handed in 3 lots of merchandise from my mothers house and after sales received a pittance of the sales price. Commission and vat (which we expected) then other fees which we had not personally been told about had been deducted. In all just over 33% had been charged. This was indeed double the amount we expected.

This was the first time we had used McTears and it will be the last.
No wonder EBay is so popular!!

I had an incredible experience dealing with McTears. I cannot say enough. Professional, efficient, proactive and a delightful experience. They coordinated the shipment abroad and it was beautifully executed. The coordinator I dealt with was quick with responses to my questions. 6/5 experience.

A very professional service

A very professional service. Made buying from a distance very easy with the help of Auction logistics (I'm in Wales, you're in Scotland). Well done everyone and thanks for a great service.

Just The Job.

Website good - not great!

Website good, unfortunately not great - it’s difficult to manoeuvre around the site whilst bidding live.
Commission and charges are just too high....

I enjoy logging into the live auctions…

I enjoy logging into the live auctions and bidding on an item I would like, the procedure is simple and when I have won an item, my invoice has been quick and clear. When I've needed an item shipped to me the quote was quick and fair. I only wish some of the prices realised were higher than I wish to pay.
