Bidder Reviews for Tamarkin Rare Camera Auctions (25)

Best and most transparent auctioneer. Highly recommended! Great Experience.

Very prompt shipping. Items were in very nice condition.

I am a first-time customer of Tamarkin Rare Camera Auction and will definitely do business with them again.

Effiicient transaction but slow and costly shipping

Dan Tamarkin is very knowledgeable and helpful. The auction is the top Leica and rare camera auction in the US for a reason. They have been doing it for generations. Bid with confidence. Tamarkin is a name you can trust and rely on their descriptions. They are super helpful with any questions. They are great at shipping items also. The best auction experience for cameras!

I've relied on them several times before. Their product descriptions are always accurate, and their responses to questions are prompt. They are truly professional. It often makes me wonder why other auctions have such slow shipping, but Tamarkin is quick to deliver. I'm looking forward to the next time as well.

This seller shipped a fake Russian Zorki copy instead of advertised Leica Shanghai Copy to me. After received the camera, I contacted Dan Tamarkin fro returning the fake Zorki camera, he firmly refused. Not honest seller.

There was an embarassing issue with my credit card-they handled it patiently and gracefully

Fast delivery time. Good description of the products. Would be better if more credit card types were available and if payment could be made online.

This is a lot of fun to watch as its happening and the response time is instantaneous. This year, the auction sound was garbled (on my computer) for the first time since I started participating. It was workable, just didn't hear many of the side comments that make these interesting. Did get to purchase a few items however. One such item I am still waiting for as they are repairing it at their expense. In any auction or online purchase, you have to assume the worst and get things that are either returnable or are easy fixes. I have had good luck with most of my Tamarkin purchases. They are a reputable firm.

Exceptional service! and always great customer service. Highly Recommended

I purchased two items one was better than expected the other was missing parts and did not function and will need repair. So my experience is about what I have experienced on eBay with used items.

good communication.
