Bidder Reviews for Kaminski Auctions (570)

As described. Fast shipping.

Would consider buying again in a heartbeat

My bidding and purchase experience with Kaminski was excellent. The personable and professional service was impressive. I look forward to attending online more of their auctions.

Disappointing........

Very responsive staff and generally a great auction house from what I can see.

Happy with the new-to-me bowls and candlesticks. Terrific addition to our dining room. Fun shapes and colors. Thank you!

No thanks

Regular bidder at Kaminski and happy again with rug for study and birds for dining room. Great quality and nice team at pickup.

Very satisfied with the whole process.

item came fast and was just as described.

Sky-high transportation costs I don't know why shipping is so expensive I can't afford it The transportation cost is more than the cost of my goods Be careful of shipping costs when you buy

This auction went very smoothly! Delighted with item.

5 purses. one had "broken" handle that was NOT at all represented in photos. quite disappointing!! Other 4 were good. Still got a good deal, but leaves a bit of bad taste wondering about if there would be a next time.

Top experience, thank you!

Perfect transaction, thank you.

After receiving a bronze statue I purchased on-line, there were three holes present in the top of the statue. One large hole (approx. 5/8 "in diameter) down the center and two small threaded holes in the top of the heads. It was obvious someone had previously modified the statue into a lamp. Kaminski claims the holes were evident in their listing photos. Due to the angle that the picture was taken only one of their 5 listed photos shows a very small sliver of the large central hole which is easily mistaken for a shadow. None of the other photos depict the smaller holes drilled into the tops of the statues. Kaminski's written description did not mention that the bronze had been modified into a lamp nor that drilled holes were present. I requested a refund and indicated I paid $150 to ship the statue to my residence. Kaminiski's customer service rep. first indicated if the statue was damaged they may be able to help me. I sent them pictures of the damage and their representative at first indicated the bronze was undamaged and suggested I contact the shipper to determine what may have happened while in the shippers possession. After informing the Kaminski rep. that these holes were drilled by a previous owner and not the shipper, he later admitted the bronze was converted into a lamp. Kaminski refuses to acknowledge their listing did not clearly show the damage nor any indication of drilled holes or conversion into a lamp in their very brief written description. Kaminski has cut off further communication with me.

Frank Kaminski has wonderful auctions and knows the art of auctioning like no other. There is so much that goes on before bringing an auction to life and his team of wonderful employees and experts get the job done in an exemplary way time and time again. I almost always preview the auction before I buy and when I run into Frank and ask him a question or two, he speaks with me as if he doesn’t have a care in the world and answers all. He is the epitome of grace under pressure. Frank’s comprehensive knowledge is truly impressive. Auction day he renews himself and he is in the moment aware of all that is going on around him. I enjoy listening to him and his cadence is fine-tuned, and one can tell he is a very seasoned auctioneer. He has wonderful communication skills and his confidence and showmanship make watching entertaining and participating and buying exciting. The logistics after an auction is complete is another marvel that’s Kaminski’s pulls off with aplomb. If there were 6 stars that is what I would rate my experience with Kaminski Auctions.

Kaminski’s was So easy to work with!

I have purchased from Kaminiski Auctions before and had another great experience. The items were as described. Paying for them was easy and Kaminski was flexible about pickup times. I look forward to their next auction.

Kaminski Auctions was very helpful in supplying information regarding shipping options to a first time buyer. They are honest, reliable and respond promptly. A very well run company. No hesitation doing future business with them.

The clock, while nice for what it is.. is not an original clock but a well-made reproduction... It was not described as a reproduction... It appeared in the photos as a restored original... Contacted Kaminski Auctions via email and never received a reply... Contact person was sympathetic but had to send the message to a superior who never replied... Shipping was a real hassle as the item was far from the UPS Store that tried to charge me well over twice what I paid for the clock... So much that I told the shipper to keep it as a gift... A few days later he magically decided he could ship for less than half of his initial price...

I have purchased multiple times from this gallery and have always found them to be very professional and welcoming.

I always have an easy process picking items up at Kaminski's. They are always responsive and excellent to work with.

I won’t do business with them again. Lost my item, I and my shipper had to ask continually to locate it (x 5 attempts, never did), multiple calls to them, never from them and multiple contacts to return my payment. Very disappointed.
