Bidder Reviews for Echoes Antiques & Auction Gallery, Inc. (406)

nice

A + + + + + + + +! Thanks!

I've just received the Italian gilt mirror and the two Hancock & Moore jockey chairs that I bought at one of their past auctions and am delighted with them! This was my first time participating in an Echoes Antiques auction, so orchestrating the pickup of these items in a timely manner was a bit of a challenge, but it all worked out well in the end. This auction house's selection is impressive and certainly high-quality merchandise. I look forward to participating in other auctions at Echoes Antiques!

Beautiful bronze and a wonderful addition to my living room. Pete and Company could not be more professional, nice, and just plain fantastic to do business with!

Great item. Very happy.

Great item, fast shipping, easy transaction-thank you!

Echoes is one of the best auction houses I’ve dealt with. Very responsive to questions, and professional and courteous in every way.

Bid with total confidence!!!

No issues. won item, paid and then dealt with shipping company UPS to get item sent to UK.

In the past I have never had any issues bidding with Echoes Auctions, but this time.. WOW!! After winning my items leaving bids on Live Auctioneers, went back to check out the bidding history-two of the items I won at $700 (starting price $500) since that was my highest bid left with both lots, I noticed that there was a competing bid of $750 (from the floor or from Echoes), when noticed that I did not leave a higher bid, the competing bid SHOULD have won each item at $750, nope, Echoes went back to my highest $700 bid with $750 retracted to win the lot... Now this did not happen to one of the lots but to two of the expensive purchased lots... My third item I won at the starting price of $50 and that is how far it went... I am questioning if my highest bid was at $600 or maybe the starting price of $500, would I have won at that price? I hate to say this, unfortunately I do not feel safe in bidding with Echoes again since it doesn't look good when other listings showed the highest bid won. Now the shipping costs-Yes the items were porcelain and had to deal with packaging porcelain items BUT to charge $448 to ship from NYC to Pa and taking only one day to receive once it finally was shipped out? When seeing the itemized shipping price, I was charged over $200 for packaging materials alone-with that price I was hoping each piece was finely wrapped with gold.. I have purchased from other Auction Houses and have dealt with their UPS companies with one the same week from out west and was certainly not charged anywhere near that price for wrapped porcelain items. And please do come back and state that I should have asked for a shipping quote first, I have done that in the past and the quote fee is usually not even close to what I am charged at the end. I give 2 star for shipping since they did package each piece okay (didn't find any gold)-2 stars to echoes since I am questioning who exactly I am bidding against plus that UPS company was on their list to select..

Beautiful painting at a great price

Very satisfied with transaction. I've been collecting photography for only a few years and this was the second time I have used live auctioneers, purchasing prints for a fraction of price-you will see me again, thanks again!

Excellent all around. Merchandise, prices and service.

Great lamp easy transaction. than you

Superbly packed by 3rd party shipper, arrived safely despite weighing 59lbs and being a risky freight item. It took the shipper a few weeks to sort out pickup, packing and finally shipping it but was worth the wait because it arrived safely and was obviously handled with respect and care. Full restoration in progress, very pleased with this transaction.

Excellent in all ways. Price, description and communication.

My experience with Echoes Antiques & Auction Gallery exceeded expectations. The online bidding process was easy and convenient. I won a fantastic piece of high-end Americana at a fraction of the average appraisal value. The service from Echoes following the sale was outstanding. Echoes Antiques & Auction Gallery is passionately committed to ensuring excellent customer service is provided. Pete & the team appreciate & value their customers. This is an amazing Auction house & I look forward to purchasing with them again! 5 STARS

Always great art pottery for GREAT Prices, Thank you again!!! AAAAAAA!!!!!!
