The items are faked as an antique
The two cinnabar plates are not antiques; they are modern, plastic reproductions. The listing was misleading, and I lost 4 hundred dollars because of it.

Austin Auction GalleryNov 05, 2024
Dear Ms. W, Please see the full catalog listing below. AAG offers items from various estates and collections, some old and some decorative. Lot 1417 in our September auction started at $150 and sold for $225. I am sorry you are unhappy with your purchase; however, the chargers were NOT represented as antique or cinnabar, nor do they appear to be antique in the online images. Listed in each lot of our auction, buyers are urged to ask questions should they have any. We gladly answer 300-500 questions and provide additional images three weeks before each auction for clients considering a purchase. There is no correspondence from you. Again, I am sorry that you assumed they were antique; however, the lot was NOT misrepresented. The front and back of each piece were pictured, showing zero wear or evidence of age. ~ Sincerely, Victoria. ** (pair) Chinese red chargers/cabinet plates, bird and floral motifs, reverse with character inscription, approx 14 "diam; 3.5lbs total ** Note: display stands not included in sale **

I've sold and have bought via Austin Auction Gallery
I am very happy with how I was treated in both roles. The descriptions are accurate (better than I could have written) and the responsiveness to questions were fast. I'm very happy with their efforts.

So Helpful and Flexible
These folks are AWESOME to deal with. I work out of town so my pick up options are limited. Doesn’t matter. They bend over backwards to make things work, as if I’m some giant customer of theirs. Prices tend to be reasonable start to finish. I’ll definitely buy again from them. They’re the first place I look when I sign on to the app.

Thank you for providing private feedback, I have responded and look forward to hearing from you. I am sorry that you feel that the shipping quote from the UPS Store is too high. Historically, they are the most expensive shipper on our list, however some clients will only use them. ** Please note: Each lot in our auction catalog has a shipping tab with information and a list of suggested shippers. They will gladly provide you with a quote befor bidding, allowing you to decide whether the shipping charges are acceptable. The shippers suggested are used by hundreds of clients each month. You are also welcome to choose your own shipper or have your item picked up by a representative. ~ Kind Regards, Victoria

Try to see selections in person, condition can be a huge issue and not disclosed

Austin Auction GalleryAug 18, 2024
Thank you for your comments. Shown online, in the fourth image of this lot, I see a brace on the rear leg. Since you did not reach out to the gallery, I guess this is what you are referring to. Whether you bid with AAG or any other auction, asking for a condition report is always suggested (also listed in the terms and conditions of sale). This is because, most items offered are antique/vintage and display some form of wear, loss, or restoration. Each lot of our auction states that detailed reports are not included in the catalog, and to PLEASE ASK SELLER FOR A CONDITION REPORT. While we attempt to disclose all, we offer over 1 ********** lots per auction cataloged by five specialists. Sometimes, they are not able to see everything or miss something. That is why we are happy to provide reports with numerous additional photos in case something is missed or the condition is not in line with what a client is looking for (as thoughts on the condition of an antique item are often subjective). The catalog is posted for three full weeks before the auction event. We typically answer 200-400 questions per auction. I see that you are local; we would like to invite you to attend the in-person preview held the week before each auction. Sincerely ~ Victoria

Very nice and friendly staff.
I acquired these two vintage Tiffany necklaces from Austin Art Gallery in July of 2024. I paid for the pieces very quickly and they were nice enough to email me 3 different shipping companies they use. I chose the 1st and spoke with them on the phone. I have not received the items as of yet but I am confident that they will be as represented.

No problems or complaints about Austin Auction but expensive 3rd party shipping
Austin Auction hosts great quality items with honest descriptions. My only gripe is that the local shipping companies are predatory, knowing that buyers are far away and have few choices and relatively little time to shop pricing. Paying $145 to ship a 14 "item weighing less than 2 pounds is ridiculous. $10 for a small single wall box. $20 for 1 piece of bubble wrap. $20 to put it in the box. $96.00 for standard UPS ground service!!! It was $24.00 when I priced it out myself on UPS. Perhaps Austin Auction will take this into consideration and negotiate substantial discounts with the preferred shippers. The current situation is a disincentive to purchase items at AAG. Inflated hipping charges can discourage bidding. By the way, my shipping charge breakdown is posted just below. Otherwise thank you. Ground Residential $95.69 1@ $95.69 Tax $0.00 MMP2GPC0VWK5F Tracking Number-1Z2462E ********** 2 20x20x12 Box $11.21 1@ $11.21 Tax $0.92 20x20x12 Cust Pack Materials $20.15 1@ $20.15 Tax $1.66 20x20x12 Cust Pack Service $20.70 1@ $20.70 Tax $0.00-Subtotal $147.75 Shipping/Other Charges $0.00 Total tax $2.58

Rare find.
Incredible service, glass sculpture I purchased was described accurately, all administration was smooth and perfect. International shipping on this large glass artwork was fast and packed the best way to avoid any chances of it breaking. I’m so happy with the overall service.

The auction process could be improved in my opinion. I would like to have the ability to put in an absentee max bid which would allow a bidders interest to remain active during the bidding process until their max bid is exceeded. This would allow bidders who are not able to be present during the entire auction or at least until their item comes up to remain involved in the bidding process.

Austin Auction GalleryMay 12, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I would like to clarify that you DO have the ability to place a maximum absentee bid (that is concealed from the auction gallery). In fact, there are several different ways you can do so-via Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Austin Auction Gallery Live, or directly with the gallery. If you would like information in the many ways to bid with AAG, please feel free to give me a call at **********. I am happy to go over all of the options with you. Thank you for bidding with AAG, I hope to hear from you! ~ Victoria

Item not as advertised
All though the item was marked 14k, I sold it to a reputable company for melt value and it turned out to be mostly brass/copper. The seller needs to do an acid test or XRF even though it is marked 14K.

Austin Auction GalleryMay 06, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback and suggestions regarding the lot you won in June of 2021. At AAG, we take pride in providing our customers with unique and fine estate-owned items. Our jewelry offerings are carefully examined and often tested by a certified gemologist to ensure their authenticity and value. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, we have built a reputation for offering fine and quality items. Regarding the composition of 14kt gold (or 585), we want to clarify that it is not pure gold. Pure gold is too soft for jewelry making, so other metals (alloys) are added to make it more durable. 14kt gold is approximately 58 % gold and 42 % alloy, making it a popular jewelry choice.
