Very Good Experience...
Very Good Experience... item was as described, easy payment process and pretty easy shipping terms, especially since Live Auctioneers wasn't involved in that process. AAA + + + seller. Will buy from again.

Great auction once again. Sometimes I win sometimes I loose. This time it was a total surprise.
Great Suction house, highly recommended. We've been working together for over 20 years.

Instructions are in our terms published in Live Auctioneers, published on our website, and posted on your invoice. We have record of even calling you to try and get you to claim your item. Shipping was not paid for. This item was from the auction in October of 2025.

Staff was very helpful, patient and careful loading item into my jeep.
I appreciated the attention and assistance provided to me in ensuring that the item was well protected as the staff tried patiently to fit the table in my jeep. Thanks again for the persistence and skill in fitting the table and pedestals in the jeep.

BUYER BEWARE
The site does say BUYER BEWARE and it is absolutely true. My lamp had a broken panel. When asked if it was broken I was told it was a crease in the slide glass. After driving an hour and a half to pick up the lamp it was indeed broken. Extremely disappointed. 1st time leaving a bad review on Liveauctioneers!!

In Your message to us, You stated yourself: ... I'm very disappointed. I'm looking back at the pictures, and it looks to me like one of the panels may be broken?..." So it is clear that you discovered something purely by looking again at what we had posted the whole time. There were no tricks, there was no deception. You discovered something that was always there, & now you'd like to blame someone else for your dissatisfaction. That's fine, it is part of the auction business. What is not fair is to give a low rating making it seem as though we are doing dirty, when actually we did nothing wrong. Further, I was the person who brought your item out to you, when you came for pick up, you did not ask for an adjustment or even say anything at all about dissatisfaction. You wish someone would have posted some critque identifying every flaw. We have found that its impossible to predict, identify & list every flaw that may or may not be offensive to buyers all of whom have different tolerances & standards. So we take fair pictures, & let you the buyer be the judge. We answer all questions fairly & honestly and we're happy to provide extra pics when possible. For you & anyone else who cares to know, we post the following on every single lot: "BUYER BEWARE!!! We do our best in good faith to evaluate auction items, And we DO NOT try to hide flaws. But Remember, it is the Buyer's responsibility to inspect each lot and form their own opinions on condition, description, provenance, and validity BEFORE purchasing. The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is free from damage and wear. Please review all pictures posted on this listing and remember the pictures are intended to give general representation and are not necessarily the product of an intense effort focused on uncovering and exposing flaws. We encourage buyers to request a condition report and/or additional photos, and to research shipping costs PRIOR to bidding on any lot."

Very Angry Man Working Here
Terrible experience. Have never spoken to a more rude individual responsible for assisting a buyer. I emailed the company advising who would be picking up my items, received a confirmation back, and then a few days later received a phone call telling me I needed to make arrangements for pick-up. I returned the call and started to explain the aforementioned when the angry man said, "NAME?" I was in the middle of telling him that the account had 2 names on it and he interrupted me and said, "You don't know your name?" I then told him if he would let me finish I would explain. I was then berated by the angry man and told, "Well then what are you calling for?" When I was returning THEIR call. Trust the reviews. Look at how he responds to them. This is who you are dealing with. Hope things get better for him. Worst auction house I've ever dealt with. Learn how to speak to people.

Fabulous table with interesting trim
Love the new table! Was drawn to the size (perfect between two chairs) and the pretty circular trim. Looks great in living room with a glass top. Thank you to the team at George Cole for always being helpful and friendly.

George Cole Auctions is the best
Always thrilled with items on offer, bidding experience and my new treasures. Happy with all my items from George Cole Auctions over the past 4 years and thrilled with the rug, tables and birdcage I won in the recent auction. Team is always friendly and helpful when I have questions about dimensions or other details in advance of auction. Last, I often drive from Boston to collect my items and have always found team friendly and helpful. Happy New Year!

My won item was sold to someone else
I arranged to come pick up my item (I had already paid). Drove 40 minutes to be told that someone else had already bought and picked up my item. They explained it happens sometimes as they are on different online auction sites. No phone call, no apology, just a shrug of the shoulders when I expressed my disappointment. Never bidding there again.
