Had two items appraised by this group. One was way higher than expected, while the other was much lower. However, their explanations were very thorough, realistic and made lots of sense.
Have you considered video responses.
Recently my wife and I inherited some funds and decided to invest in some gold. We were inundated with websites which just did not seem legitimate. Then a friend told me he stumbled upon the website allinvestglobal.com and suggested we give them a try. I am glad we did, All Invest Global is a very professional organization. Would do business with them again in a heartbeat!
I purchased an antique sterling teapot from this auction house for $1850. Upon receiving the item I noticed two missing pieces of silver to the body with a piece of metal affixed to the reverse so that the pot would mot leak. The lid of the teapot was also repaired.
The said defects were so obvious that even my 10 year old noticed them as soon as he saw the teapot. However, Grogan auction house's description of the item made no mention of the condition of the item. Moreover, the photograph the auction house had put on line was taken from the other side of the teapot that was relatively in better shape; thus, concealing the missing parts and leading anyone to infer that this was the general condition of the item.
Upon notifying the auction house of the mentioned mis-represenations (i. E., in description of the item and in its picture), I was referred to the conditions of sale that has a clause pertaining to all items are sold "as is".
This general blank clause "as is" is used by more reputable auction houses when their description of the item does not omit such a crucial aspect of an item as its condition and it could be resorted to in the event of an oversight in description; and not, in the case that I reported here-- the item being defective and the defects so explicit, yet no mention is made of them in the descriptionand the picture of the item taken from the side that does not have holes in it.

I did win an auction on eBay. Paid in full after it. Received an email with order confirmation and estimated delivery date. The item was valued more then what I paid, but it was just an auction. I believe eBay at this case makes sure I will never receive the item and at this case offer you the money back. After one month and without me asking what I want they just said here is the refund. They closed the case without even knowing why my item never was shipped or delivered.
They have had their PAYPAL accounts shut down for fraud AT LEAST THREE TIMES. A few months later they start up another under a different name. THIS COMPANY IS TO BE AVOIDED! They are scam artists and you will never see your money again.
Excellent experience with Tree Hugger! Fast delivery and well-packed so my product arrived with no problem! Thank you!
I have shopped with Antique Warehouse many times. Most of their prices are reasonable but some are out of my league. I love just about everything they have to sell but you have to act fast or the item will sell out. Their customer service is excellent. They respond quickly to your questions. The only bummer is that it takes 10-15 working days to leave the warehouse so don't expect it for awhile.
