Solid Customer Service
I have been buying books through National Book Auctions for several years, and I have always found good books at good prices, with exceptionally accurate descriptions and photos of every lot. Shipping has been reliably timely, and if anything, has only gotten better. NBA is one of my favorite auction sites.

The descriptions are no good
I buy books often. The least they could do if your spending your money is to give you an accurate description. How about a few pictures? I would have liked to know how much foxing was going on inside the book But since it was omitted I hoped that their was a better interior. If they mention foxing etc. at least the customers might bid appropriately. Just be please do a better job. Be honest. It happens more often than it should.

A good place to buy books
I have had great success buying books from National Book Auctions. I consider them to be professionals at what they do. The books are given good descriptions and they stand behind those descriptions. They pack your books very well for shipment. I have been buying books from them for over 5 years and will likely continue to do so.

Great Auction House
Items are as described-the ample photos always help. Packaging is very good, and the items are well protected during shipping.

Had to request an invoice & shipment
These folks don't send an automatic invoice and then don't ship until you ask-well maybe they do for big customers but for small lots you need to ask. I've stopped buying from them. You shouldn't need to ask for your books.

NBA provides accurate descriptions of both the book/s being auctioned as well as the author.
I have been bidding in NBA auctions for many years now and am a very satisfied customer of this business. Although I tend to seldom win most of the books I bid on, I just chalk that up to bidding against people who want the book more than I do. My experience in many auctions is to avoid becoming romantically attached to an item and to have a general idea of what comparable bids have been in past auctions. Also, it's critically important to carefully study the condition-information about the books as well as to note whether or not the books represent a complete set. I always look forward to receiving the books I win-a little bit like Christmas. NBA is a trustworthy and knowledgeable auction house; my only regret is that as I've aged, I have less room for more books.

Late delivery, ignored status request
Book delivered a month after purchase. Request for a status update on the shipment ignored. Sometimes their books are fun, but always their service is awful.

This was a disappointing comment to receive. This buyer paid her invoice late, nearly two weeks after the auction. A late fee was due as a result but we waived that fee and shipped out the package. It was delivered in a timely manner. As occurs from time to time with most companies who ship their products, shipping delays can occur, and delivery times with carriers can vary. To describe our service as 'awful' is extreme and does not at all reflect our commitment to serve our bidders well. Clearly, our courtesy in overlooking the payment from this bidder being late was misplaced and to blame us for the resultant lengthy period of time it took to receive the package seems quite unfair.

This isn't true and we discussed this with the client. It seems that a lag in his computer refreshing created an illusion of a lower price but the bidder log maintained by LiveAuctioneers clearly shows competitive bidding up to the price this bidder paid. Additionally, we have no control over the bidding process, that is entirely LiveAuctioneers 'realm. We simply process the information they send to us.
