Bidder Reviews for Peachtree & Bennett (101)

It would help if you clarified this, Yes we sell counterfeits and fakes Many items are copies or even fakes and still have a value. Pay attention to the descriptions or lack of. If it is described as a decorative Print don't expect to return it because it is not an original worth hundreds of dollars It was sold as a decorative print. We do not lead people to believe Items are something they are not. If you buy an item thinking it is something more than the catalogue describes it to be. Read the description or ask our opinion. We do not described things as Tiffany or 14K or antique unless we are willing to stand behind it. Conversely if we describe something simply as a Mahogany Sideboard we are selling you a Mahogany sideboard not an 18th cent Mahogany Sideboard. If it is and we missed that fact good for you however we do not encourage you to do so.

In light of the fact that the shipped item to which you paid for but did received incorrectly through our error and was brought to our attention by the buyer of the other very similar and almost identical piece. You were contacted and expressed you preferred not to return the item and would pay the sale price for the one shipped to you in error which was the more expensive of the two. We communicated this to the buyer of the one that was incorrectly shipped to you and he made it clear he wanted the one he purchased and did not want to sell you the you were shipped in error. We did not have either in our possession and you did not want to ship the one in your possession until receiving the other one even when offer a temporary refund until recieved. The other buyer after hearing this also did not want to return the one he had until he recieved his. It created a difficult situation which caused the items to be shipped multiple times. One that was created entirely by our error but was complicated by logistics that were not in our control.

We handle numerous items and attempt to note or photo all damages. We make and have no desire to hid damages it leads to returns. Once someone has pointed out damage not noted that affects the value we can not simply change the price without consignor consent. We can only cancel the sale and if as the buyer you decide you still want the item rather than cancel the sale that is your option

Yes we do drop the price as most items we offer do not have a reserve and the starting price listed online shows automatically at 50 % of the low estimate but then actual bidding starts it is the auctioneers option to open it at a lower price then the bidding starts and the bidding may then continue if there are bidders to prices higher than the original asking bid. Thats why they call it an auction. Yes som auctions do not go less than 50 % of the low estimate (not our policy we want to sell it) We never withdraw an item once the bidding is opened and never have
