Nice bookends
These meant a lot to me. My deceased father had a set of these book ends. I don't have anything of his to remind me of him. I have these now and am grateful to have them.

Nice Auctioneer-Highly Recommended
JC was very easy to work with. He helped me resolve a bidding issue I had and was very cooperative and pleasant to deal with. I like the way his auctions are run and look forward to participating in upcoming auctions at his new location in Ellenville.

Really poor packaging. When I complained they told me to "wake up"!
Bought a lot of old matchbox cars. They charged $50.29 for Priority Shipping that cost them $21.15. They threw all of the cars together in a bag, put the bag in a box and shipped them. Lots of broken pieces. I complained and they told me to "wake up" How's that for customer service. 14 % one-star ratings by the way. Wake up!

Buyer did not comprehend "As Found" condition. Although 99 % of these toys were fine. Well packed with Large bubble wrap and packing. Customer only charged $25.00 for the in house packing + actual postage. These are vintage, played with items, still worth 10x what he got them for, and Poor Mikey is still not satisfied.

Came with repro power cord and missing knob to set time. They charged 3x of actual shipping. Used boxes not new. So clock that I thought I paid what it was worth cost twice of what its worth.

Answered buyers inquiries before purchase. Rare item working with original antique 2 prong cord. Double boxed item and packed with care. Very hard piece to find, buyer got a true bargain. We charged actual postage with small fee for packing.

This business at Great Estates should be the Gold Standard for life
This business so far exceeded my hopes it is hard to state. I never bought at auction before. So between Live Auctioneers website and the Great Estates.. so seamless and so easy. From approval to bid, to winning and even for a fee of course... Great Estates packaged and shipped my art. AMAZING!!!!! Trust me when I say this should be how all business operates. It used to be this way in the world. I thank Live Auctioneers and Great Estates.

Overpriced shipping
While they do offer shipping as a convenience, and it is, apparently it’s also a lucrative side business. $40 to ship two pictures small enough to sit in the palm of my hand through the USPO is highway robbery. Before you place a bid with them, make sure you get a solid price for shipping.

These items were professionally packed, transported to the Post office by a member of our staff who waited on line for 20 minutes to drop the package off, pay for postage with insurance and signature. The cost for Priority Postage with additional services was $25.00, she was charged $15.00 for our staffs service and time, which did not cover our cost. Unfortunately, people like this are going to make in house shipping extinct. Customer asked us to handle the shipping for her, this was done as a service, and $40.00 was extremely fair.

Bidding and payment through Live Auctioneers went very smoothly. I travel through Port Jervis occasionally-Great Estates was willing to hold the item until my next trip and to accommodate my schedule when I picked it up at the auction facility.

Customer did not pay the shipping charges for months. Item was a lithographic poster and as described. Item was shipped in a sturdy shipping tube, No insurance was requested, no evidence of damage produced. We strive to satisfy each customer, unfortunately all claims are false in this case.
