Quirky auction house, good to deal with
I've purchased several items from Clars. They have such an eclectic mix of things and a lot of bargains. I gave them a demerit because I had emailed them about pick up and they never got back to me. But usually they are very responsive. I think the reason they didn't get back to me is because they are open during normal business hours for pick up. Which is great because other auction houses I've dealt with, you have to make an appointment.

Smooth Transaction
My second time purchasing from Clars and again all went well. Used Jack London Mail to ship my paintings and would highly recommend them. Excellent responsiveness and quick and careful shipping. Approx $75.00 to ship 2 medium size paintings from the Bay area to Monterey.
