Bidder Reviews for Alderfer Auction (763)

Very satisfied with the results although I was surprised that one of my items was listed for sale as being HO scale. When it arrived I noticed from the manufacturer's paperwork it is actually On3 ?)

Great service from these folks! A big thanks!

The description of the item was spot on, the payment process easy, the contact of my FFL was Smith and quickly done, and shipping very fast with tracking information provided. The personnel were pleasant and efficient.

Alderfer Auction was easy to work with, very organized, and professional. The description of the items was accurate and the photos were good. The items arrived safely and well packaged. Several dolls are now enjoying hair!

Easy auction company to work with. My experience has been that the descriptions are accurate and photos are good and clarify the descriptions. The item is exactly as described. The little guy arrived well packaged and safely. Thanks!

This was an example of a smooth and painless process of bidding, payment and shipping. Other auction houses should take note and copy. I cannot say the same about 50 % of the other auction houses. I am an International bidder and most other auction houses are not International-friendly and seem to live in silos with some regular bidders. Thank you Alderfer.

Very hard to find this size of doll. Beautiful. Reproduction well dressed.

Wonderful dolls. Many rare to find.

Wonderful experience. Buy with confidence.

A good experience, and I will buy again.

Super quick super fast and easy shipping is no problem it’s all put together and they’re right on top of it it’s not like you’re waiting around for it they’re there for you

their people are always polite to talk to and they’re right on with everything that I see and that I’ve purchased I am extremely happy and I look forward to working with them again

This auction house offers some really nice items at a reasonable bid price. I am especially happy with their shipping department. My items (very fragile bisque dolls 100 + years old) were skillfully and carefully packed and arrived in perfect condition. I hope they offer more in the future!

Very professional respond, thanks

I've been disappointed with the cost and difficulty in getting won items shipped by other auction houses. Alderfer Auction was great. I will bid with them again.

My won Items processed relatively fast and communication with the Alderfer Auction is easy. Description of items was very exact. A +

This was a very disappointing experience for two reasons. I purchased an Amy Kahn Russell carnelian turtle pin for $238, plus $16 for shipping (a lot of money for my modest budget). I was surprised upon receiving it. In the photos the carnelian appears to be a rather vibrant orange-in reality it is a muddy brownish orange and not vibrant in the least. I understand why this happened-I tried to take some photos to email the actual color-and even on my cell phone the photos look much better than in person. Perhaps from the shimmer of the shiny stone? Let me state-I don't believe they were trying to be deceptive. However, they were negligent in not stating in the description that the actual color was much different than their photos. If I had known that the orange carnelian had this muddy brown cast to it, I would never have purchased it. Secondly, I emailed them at the address listed soon after the auction and never received a reply. My most disappointing experience with LiveAuctioneers to date. I won't do business with Alderfer Auctions again.

Don't have time for these

A great item and fair pricing

A very smooth transaction and SUPERB necklace at a reasonable price. The payment procedure was quite satisfactory. The shipper was great and the items arrived safely, quickly and securely packed.

Accurate, Easy to Work With, Great Experience

Great baby dolls!

This was my first time dealing with them. And I must say it’s been a pleasure. Very easy to work with. As for communication’s when ever I emailed a question. I received a answer quickly and more importantly they answered my questions every time. Everything was as described Pickup was quick and easy they had everything ready for we when I pulled up. It’s been a pleasure doing business with Alderfer. I would certainly recommend them & I would buy from them again. Thanks

Thank you! Love them both.

I enjoy purchasing items of interest through Alderfer Auction because their photos and information are always on spot with what you receive and their in-house shipping is packed well and forwarded at a fair price. Staff is helpful, dependable and always pleasant. And I'm left with a confidence when bidding from afar, that lots will be as described, and lots won will arrive the same. Comfortable doing business with this Auctioneer am I.

Fair Price, Excellent packing and fast correspondence what more could you expect! Thank you

Not having the weight of the sculpture either delays a shipping quote, or the shipper provides inaccurate shipping quote, sometimes leading to damaged items. It would be helpful for sellers to include the approximate weight of sculpture, along with the dimensions of the item.

Sold a CONTEMPORARY item as an antique-they NEVER pick up the phone, especially if they believe you have a complaint-do NOT buy here; their item descriptions are fraudulent.

Shipping and pick-up was a little slow, but eventually it was completed.
