Easier Than Expected
I haven't won too many online auctions so far, so was a little nervous going into the process. Everything worked out however, so I need not have worried. The description of the item was accurate and the bidding was straightforward. The shipper, JACK LONDON MAIL (chosen from a list of shippers provided by Clars) did an outstanding job. Only hiccup was when I registered for the auction through LiveAuctioneers. After a couple days with no response from Clars, I messaged them and was told I needed to call their office to register since my auction history was limited. As mentioned, I can highly recommend JLMail. I received an estimate within an hour of my email. The painting was carefully packaged and arrived within days of payment. Now, on to my next auction!

What fun I had unpacking my win!
I've been a collector for decades. Finding the rare, and beautiful still excites me. This porcelain lot from Clars did just that! Great price, fast customer service, and every piece in amazing condition for 100-yr old porcelain! Great experience

Decent experience.
Plates were as described except one was cracked. Clars was slow to respond to inquiries in general. Otherwise I was pleased with the transaction. I’ve been looking for these plates for 2 + years though-so, overall thrilled to find them and pleased.

Clars Auction Gallery is a shambolic business
I purchased a painting at the Clars auction. Unfortunately I couldn't have the painting shipped to me for less than over 3 times the purchase price, which was as ludicrous as it was unaffordable to proceed with. Clars wouldn't work with me to have the sale returned. Recently I was informed-after the fact-that they "settled" this by selling the painting for... $20. As of today, they're keeping my original $520 AND the silly $20, as well. I've been doing business with auction houses for a long time now and this is utterly unacceptable, greedy and rude. Stay away.

Quick and correct!
The whole process went smoothly. For the shipping, I could find a good solution within the shippers that were proposed by Clars Auction.

Sold Counterfeit Coins, Auctioneer Didn't Care
Won a group of coins. Upon receipt, the two most valuable coins in the lot were obvious counterfeits. Sent photographic proof showing the coins received compared to genuine certified coins. Auctioneer responded as if I was lying, and offered $50 in "auction credit" for coins worth, if they were genuine, a minimum of $300. Why would I buy from them again if they sell fakes? Or, I could ship back-at my cost-and they also would not refund my initial shipping costs. Insane. Since this is how customers are treated, who would bid here? Hopefully no one.

Smooth Transaction-Great Communication-Easy Shipping-Highly Recommended//Large Garden Statue
From my pre-sale inquiries with Julia, additional photo requests and post-sale invoicing to the final shipping, this purchase was smooth sailing every step of the way. Considering the size of the piece I was expecting some issues but John at CCC Transport made getting this to Idaho a breeze. Highly Recommended-A +-Thank You!

I have acquired many things from Clar’s
Clar’s is efficient and helpful in suggesting the shipping firm. I received my item in good shape & also have done so in previous auction winnings from them. Highly recommended.

Great, Easy Experience and Love my Goodies!
I purchased a beautiful very large painting as well as a lot of Dresden figurines from Clars. Everything was in perfect condition-and Dresden ALWAYS have chips-these were practically flawless! Super happy with the items, easy payment and pickup. I'll be buying from here again.
