We enjoy the online auctions in the comfort of our own home or on the go. Descriptions and pictures so far are clear and accurate. Always interesting and entertaining.

good old school fellows.

They are well-staffed for pickup and instructions are clear. They phoned me as a reminder of pickup while I was en route and Laurel had my item ready as soon as I pulled up. Five stars all the way.

BEST PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH, LOW SHIPPING COST

Items described accurately. Individualized attention during shipment. Very nice people to deal with!!

House had specified a pick-up day, but did not mention the specific hours in the auction listing. I could not meet those hours since I was working. House had arranged for a time on another day for pick-up. Very cooperative and good communication.

Best deals, helpful staff

BEST AUCTION EVER

THANK YOU MIKE

Thanks for a wonderful transaction!

It is a true pleasure to meet business people that are who they represent to be. I've been buying from the Stasaks for a number of years and have been very satisfied with the honest representation of items and their level of service.

Very FAIR auction.. Great prices and products, always as expected...

I hate leaving reviews, especially negative ones. As a small business owner and reseller I understand how they can impact your relationships with customers. I like M. J. Stasak as an auction house. I believe they provide adequate photographs, and I don't believe they ever intentionally misrepresent something. The diversity in products offered up is fantastic, and they were quite responsive to my communications regarding the holiday season. With that being said, I purchased/won 9 what I consider jewelry lots. One of them included two medium size boxed groupings. The sum total with the 18 % buyers premium was $476 and some change. The shipping itself was a reasonable 25 and some change. The fee to ship was $55.00, adding about 20 % to the net amount of my pre-buyers premum cost for the combines shipping expense. I know the M. J. Stasak will say in response, it is disclosed-and it is. Outside of M. J. Stasak, I have seen other auction houses disclose the same fee, yet I do not recall ever having paid this kind of fee for small jewelry items-less the one lot that was jewelry, but had rwo 10x8x 2 1/2 "boxes with contents that were not bubble wrapped. Honestly, I feel it is to the benefit of your buyers to have a reliable 3rd party shipper whose business is shipping. I had a large package come in from Canada costing less than this, and usually my jewelry shipments from Canada cost no more than $40.00 fully insured with signature and I am in the states. As a regular buyer for my business, the added 20 % is about 14 % more than I would expect. I'm one that pays promptly and takes my lumps on stuff that isn't what it should have been and pay my shipping, regardless, promptly. But the experience with you this last time was very unexpected and disappointing. Your fee policy only impacts those that require shipping, and if you don't like shipping that much, and don't have a reasonable 3rd party shipper, I simply don't know why you would sell using an online platform.

OKAY

I messaged the auctioneer asking about pickup and received no answer. I literally live 5 minutes from them. They did answer a follow up message and informed me that item had to be picked up the day of the auction. It had been set aside to be shipped. Very small item. Rather than just let them keep it. I opted to pay the 15 dollar handling fee and 1p dollars shipping. I felt since I obviously didn't read their rules that I should go through with the transaction. It was their fault that I didn't read the rules. I just felt that they could have let me pickup even if the charged me the handling fee and saved the shipping. Just be aware that your item may end up being shipped if you don't show up in person the day of the auction. Doesn't make sense to have a live auction IMO without being able to pickup item the day after. I probably won't bid again and still am little bitter over the whole thing. Live and learn

THE VERY BEST AUCTION HOUSE
