Bidder Reviews for Kaminski Auctions (634)

Very happy with the beautiful sculpture I bought. Unlike many houses I’ve dealt with, it was sent promptly and arrived safely to its new home. Very good experience.

I recently purchased a pair of Neoclassical busts that were described in the lot listing as being composed of marble composite. Upon receipt and inspection, the items appear to be made of resin/plastic rather than marble composite as stated. As a trade buyer who relies on accurate catalog descriptions for resale and collection management, material composition is a value-defining attribute. This discrepancy has rendered the items unsuitable for placement in inventory without full disclosure, which materially impacts their resale viability. A claim has been submitted through LiveAuctioneers Purchase Protection and I am currently awaiting resolution.

I picked up my item. Spoke with a couple member of the staff members and the owner they were quite nice. Will watch for my type of items at future auctions.

Painting as described.. sure to attend future auctions

Will do business again!

awesome experience and fast shipping a + + + + auction house

Overall a disappointing experience. Shipped the wrong item and never responded to emails for an explanation, apology or to rectify.

Been doing business with them for years and hope to be doing more for many years to come!

Totally accurate information and is EXACTLY the same as the description.

I have been a buyer for many years and Kaminski Auctions is my go-to for practically everything-from high-end art and antiquities, to jewelry, china, designer pieces, and more. I don't think there is a room in any of our homes without multiple items acquired through Kaminski Auctions that I don't absolutely love, both for their artistic qualities as well as for their value vs. cost. Frank Kaminski has wonderful contacts and attracts fantastic items and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Is there an option for more than five stars?!!

I've been attending auction houses for over a decade, and there is a reason I continue to return again and again to Kaminski's. Their offerings are always phenomenal, ranging from antiquities, to vintage designer clothing, to show-stopping interior design pieces, and more. Their service is absolutely unmatched from start to finish with the meticulous care they provide. They are very responsive and open with prospective customers regarding questions, concerns, etc.-Frank and his staff are incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and trustworthy. The pick up process is seamless-even during peak times, I feel as though I'm the only customer present, due to the staff's attentiveness and care. I have never had an issue with any items that I've purchased. I was reluctant to share this review, lest my favorite auction house become known to potential competition, but I really feel it's the least I could do for such an incredible establishment. Best auction house in the biz!!!!

Kaminski Auctions is one of my favorite online auction companies!!!

Everything went smoothly with bidding, purchasing and pickup of my items. Highly recommend Kaminski.

This was a good experience. I received the frames and was very satisfied with the assistance the auction house gave me.

Contacted the auction house after found out that the vases are modern computer print grid patterns everywhere on the vases even they listed as Republic Period in the black and white words in the title. The owner rejected to return and refund. Instead he suggested I consign the vases to them so that they can double the profit. No thanks. I would rather throw them to trash and not allow another buyer fall into the pit again. I would suggest avoiding this auction house if you can’t check the items personally. Don’t trust them anymore even I got a few items from them previously. Sad!

Excellent auction house, I have bought on several occasions and I have always received the items perfectly and they are described exactly as I received them. On this occasion I bought this pair of Sevres and they sent them to me from their Massachusetts to Palm Beach for a great price, I picked them up personally and the attention was great.

I specifically asked if an item was restored. Was told it was not. It obviously was. When I complained, “crickets.” I won’t bid with them again. Ever.

Everything-first look through delivery an efficient easy process through delivery. Professional, knowledgeable & I am delighted with my acquisition

Excellent honest auction house

Great auctions with accurate descriptions and service all around is great too!

5 **** from start to finish!!

horrible service and reported me after i paid in a timely manner

We won this large lot of silver pieces and overall were very pleased. We've had a great experience with Kaminski in the past. Bidding was easy and they handled our win professionally, prompt shipping and answered all my questions. Unfortunately this lot was "supposed" to be all New York Central, but the rings turned out to be marked PRR (Pennsylvania)-they were clearly marked and there was no reason to have been mistaken for NYC. Otherwise this was a 100 % experience. Based on their terrific customer service and our overall experience, we recommend Kaminski.
