Effortless experience.
This was one of the best run auctions that I have taken part of. Processing, payment, shipping and delivery were, almost, automatic. Delivery over the'Pond "was fast

All Around Good Experience
The auction house not from the US therefore the payment process for the item and the shipping was a bit different. Excellent communications and item arrived as described.

There was a mix up with the lots and I never heard back from them?
I have not heard back and have attempted several times a month to get an answer.

William George purchase was very disappointing.
I purchased a ring which looked beautiful from the photos. It looked larger than what it is, and basically on receipt I not only found the ring very dirty, but abysmally smaller than what I expected. I paid 400 pounds and 70 pounds to have it sent. It was a waste of money. I contacted WILLIAM George to ask whether or not I could return it. They never got back to me. I will not be purchasing any more jewelry from this company. I feel the ring was misrepresented. It also seems to come from a third-party as the vendor contacted the seller and the seller did not realize that she would have to send it to me within a few days of purchase. So she was out of town and I had to wait for her nephew to send it. I found all this unprofessional. They did not see the ring to begin with. And I feel cheated.

Information Shortfall
The auctioneer knew the items came from a seller who had mostly 1990 posters, yet presented a supposed 1969 poster without mentioning this pertinent fact. Though the blurb for the poster did not say it was an original from 1969, it also did not say it was among all 1990 and later items. Omission can be as harmful as commission …

Never received item because used third party to ship who was not helpful
I would not recommend bidding on items from William George because they received my payment via credit card but it was never disclosed that you must deal with a random third party (not William George) to arrange for shipping of your item. Further, you must PAY this third party person via ONLY PayPal or direct bank account. I don’t like wiring money to someone overseas especially if the shipping costs more than I am actually paying for (my high bid) on the item given the add’l charge my bank, and most banks, charge to execute a wire. I never heard from the third party after trying to arrange for shipping after the Thanksgiving holiday when I was out of town. Very disappointed and I would never recommend doing business with William George or any other company who does not make shipping simpler and easier for bidders on their items. This is a red flag for Live Auctioneers and I would strongly suggest that you make William George aware of their practices. You shouldn’t have to pay for an item twice to two separate parties. Very bad business and fraudulent.
