I have been trading with antiques for more than 30 years. (From before the Internet, when you had to actually go to physical auction house to bid).
Here are a couple of FACTS, based on more than 30 years of experience:

- LiveAuctioneers often have a "Byers Premium" between 25-33%, which is very high.

- Picture quality is the absolutely poorest that I have EVER seen, at any online auction site. (This is a strong warning sign, since that almost always is because the seller wants to hide flaws from a potential buyer).

- The seller's description of the items is almost always non existent, or very, very poor. (This is also to hide potential flaws).

- VERY few sellers offers "in house shipping", so you will have to contact a third party shipper. This becomes costly, and time consuming.

- Their payment system is absolute garbage.
I use the same credit card for at least 50 international auction houses and sites, and Live Auctioneers cannot get it to work.

I do NOT recommend using them at all.
