With any auction house the key is the shipping costs.

I purchased this clock in Dec 2024 for $30. It was never shipped. It cost $75 this time. Plus $196
I have never experienced such treatment in bidding on auction items. I have notified Liveauctioneers of the PROBLEMS with the transaction. I do not think I would recommend ever doing business with CLARS Auction to ANYONE-EVER. some thing was terribly wrong with buying at auction-Back in December 2024 CLARS said it would cost nearly $700 to ship. Then they said someone from a shipper picked it up, Then CLARS said they couldn't find the clock. then CLARS put it back up for auction in MAY 2025. I purchase for more than twice what I purchased it for in Dec 2024. I guess this someone is a sucker.

Clars Auctions does it right-accurate, responsive, great shippers list
Clars photos and description were spot on. Their shippers list is detailed and helpful. Use it. The team at UPS Store 2080 was amazing-very quick pickup, careful packing and shipping fragile pottery.

Excellent items every time I bid!
I have bought several items from Clars and each time they are exactly as described and reasonably priced. Their recommended shipper Premier Pack and Ship also does a great job of packing fragile valuable items for international shipping. Both companies are highly recommended!

One of the best houses around!
I've been buying from Clars for more than 20 years, and selling too. They have always been great to deal with-friendly, professional and helpful. Can't recommend them more highly.

Shipping
My shipping costs were very reasonable. Quite often the shipping quotes I get from various auctioneers are outrageous.

No Problems
No complaints. I did ask for a condition statement via the LiveAuctioneers link, but didn't get a response until I emailed them via my gmail. Chose Jack London mail again for shipping. Good job. For a medium painting from SF area to Monterey the cost was $110.

Quick and efficient
The whole process from start to finish was run effectively and efficiently. There seemed no issue with interacting with a new international client, and business was very easy to conduct. I was really delighted by the speed of pickup and despatch and thrilled with the lot I won! All kudos to Clars!

No Photo of Rear... only 1 side
The bottom side of the ukulele DID NOT HAVE A PHOTO.... why?? Because there were 2 large cracks in the Koa wood on the bottom. No way to deal with serious imperfection for a professional approach to auction selling. I am a repeat buyer with you and now I will INSURE a lot has photos of both sides for items. Aloha, Dan P

Super-Fast Service
Both Clars and the shipper they recommended, Handle With Care Packaging Store, exceeded expecatations by a wide margin. The shipper responded immediately to my request with a quote well in line with my expectations, and the they and Clars combined efforts to have the painting at my door one week after the auction.

Selling what has Broken and Glued back together.
I sold the pedestals that it had. The Beast broke off and we re glued back together. No mention of it in their lifting night. Finally I called up to say Hey, what can we do to make this right Albert? He said was, oh so sorry if she should have called us and asked us to check for ya to see if it had any cracks or chips, we didn't see that it would have been broke off and reglued.
