BEWARE! They do not list condition unless asked.
BEWARE! Do not buy anything from Hindman Auctions. They do not list any damage in their listings. I purchased over 30 high end paperweights from them and they were all significantly damaged. They did not state there was any damage and when questioned they said "well you have to email us on each item to find out the condition." I for one will NEVER buy from them again. Please be careful. They do not represent themselves well.

When buying candlesticks, avoid listings that do not show photos of the bottoms of the sticks.
It seems some Hindman auctions provide in-house shipping, and some do not, and the conflicting information on their website and within the "policies" descriptions in the listings makes it confusing to understand (in one place it will say that in-house shipping is provided, but in an other place it says it isn't). I much prefer in-house shipping, and I did get that with my items (shipping fees were included on the invoice, but the email with the invoice again was confusing with conflicting statements). Once I got the notice that shipping was in process (which took some time, but they have a lot to process), I received the items quickly. They were well packed, and the fees for shipping were reasonable. Next, the age of the sticks was listed as 18th century, but I doubt the age. I sent a question asking how they determined the age after the auction, but they did not reply. I have bought from auction houses in the past that have been very helpful after the sale-which says a lot to me about the auction house. I like the sticks anyway, but had they provided photos of the bottoms of the sticks, I probably wouldn't have bid on them (or at least wouldn't have gone as high as I did). It is my fault for not asking for photos of the bottoms, but I've seen where many auction houses provide these in the listing. I will not bid on any candlesticks in the future if the listing does not include photos of the bottoms (having such photos makes the attribution seem more honest). In the end, I would still do business with the company, but I will be more careful when it comes to inspecting the items online.

TRUSTWORTHY, PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY, RESPONSIVE
This was my first purchase from Hindman, although I had bid in several of their prior auctions and/or requested Condition Reports. I was happy with every aspect of the auction process and interaction with the seller. I will definitely do business with Hindman in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Will not disappoint!
No matter which Hindman location is holding an auction, the lots will be high-quality, interesting, and often unique. I am very happy with all of my wins at Hindman auctions so far. The photos and descriptions are accurate, and the process is smooth and efficient.

Customer Relationships
Working with Hindman Auctions has been a great experience. The customer service they provide is second to none. Success is based on relationships over time and the information that is provided to ensure that I have all the tools to make an educated decision is much appreciated. Thank you, Hindman Auctions and a special thanks to Christopher for your assistance in making this latest acquisition very positive. Charlie Meridian Idaho

Good quality items
Would give them a five star review but more than a month after paying them and receiving the items they still show the invoice as unpaid on Live Auctioneers. This could cause problems for me later on.

payment dept needs some customer training, payment/collections dept is horrible to deal with,
their customer service/payment dept has a lot to be desired, we dont like getting phone calls re a payment that has been mailed out promptly. When we asked re. shipping/othertquestions the payment dept said they would look into it, and get back to us........... all we recieved was two more e mails re payment demands again their cust. service payment dept needs to be fired and trained as to dealing with auction customers. We will never do businesss with them again

Bidding difficulties
Although this item went without a hitch, I have experienced another item where I get a "you are the winning bidder" message and then is given to another bidder for the same price of my so called "winning bid". Strange or more!

Superbly professional, willing to help, and fantastic art and furniture
I've purchased several items (art, furniture) from Hindman. In every case, they have been very responsive about providing accurate condition reports and arranging for viewing. They gave me excellent and affordable recommendations for shipping. I've been very pleased with the quality of their auction items and with their professionalism.

Another great auction experience
We always watch for Hindman Art Auctions for their quality and diverse offerings. We have purchased numerous items and all have been incredible additions to our family collection.

Most honourable auction house
I've dealt with several auction houses now and Hindmans is a very professional and honest auction house.. as soon as they realized the mirror was in a condition very different than they had realised, they contacted my shipper to alert him. He alerted me and when he said he could not even bring it given the condition, Hindmans gave me a full refund. I was impressed with how responsive and quickly they handled the situation and definitely recommend to others to bid with them. Contrast this to another mirror I purchased from another auction house who deliberately did not show photograph of back and the supposed late 1800s mirror arrived, besutil Italian wood frame but cardboard back and clearly new glass deliberately not mentioned in listing so is refreshing to find an honest auction house like Hindman

Good experience, for the most part
Experience was good except for the fact that they lost part of my auction lot after I won.

Compare shipping price quotes!!!
Auction House requires very exacting actions from the buyer. Take care with the recommended shippers. The price quotes vary astronomically!
