Stein Auction Company and Andre are the best. Period.
Andre and his folks at the Stein Auction company are the best in the world at this niche collectables market. I have used them for decades, and their descriptions of their items for auction are always exactly right, they have the best selection, they answer all questions quickly, even if they have to call you to do so, a rare thing to get a real phone call from a real person not trying to sell you something but just to answer a question you may have. Prices are always fair, and the shipping is absolutely first rate and quick. Cannot say enough good things about them.

As advertised
Item arrived pretty quickly and was well packed and item in minty condition. Nothing to complain about other than I didn't get it for free. Thanks!

great stein at a fair price. send me more offers-without auctions.
this stein was as described-truly a different type from the norm. The packaging/shipping was very well done, keep up the great work. if and when you decide to offer these and similar items NOT VIA AUCTION-but as direct purchase-at a reasonable price-NOTIFY ME to participate. I love German wedding cups.-but not Japanese knockoffs.

Shipping is through Liveauctioneers. I'm told by their shipping department that everything functions. From this feedback it is apparently not correct.

Zero issues and Great Shipping Rates
I have a tendency not to buy a lot from online auctions due to the shipping costs. I am sure some of you are like me. Buy a $100 item and it's $200 to ship. And yes I know size, weight, and destination make big differences. Well Stien Auction had some great rates on my purchase and well packaged. Thank you!!

Packaging was superb. Getting a tracking number took some effort, but the total experience was essentially perfect.
