Bidder Reviews for Donny Malone Auctions (1,905)

This is a great auction house to find unique items. I was extremely pleased with the paintings I purchased. I used a local shipper and everything was handled professionally. I am very pleased with my purchase and I look forward to finding more unique items at Donny Malone.

Donny was very responsive over email. The item was exactly was described and pick up was a breeze. I highly recommend Donny Malone Auctions!

No

Received my item from the auction house after THREE unsuccessful attempts to inquire about the paperwork confirmation for the purchased item. We don’t know WHAT we bought. So, 1. Brand was not confirmed by the auction house. 2. Auction house never responded. 3. Auction house shipping cost is astronomical. Bottom line, they only want your money. No service. No value. No benefit. Never again.

PERFECT TRANSACTION-LOVELY PIECES, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED, plan to bid in the future! Great photos also Donny Sr! THANK YOU!

Their shipping quote was twice what it should have been. I told them to keep the item and put it in a future auction.

buy from them...

Overall great!

Purchased painting from this auction house that led me to believe it was authentic. Paid $600 plus tax plus buyer’s premium. Description was all about the painter, his life history, painting of a scene in New Hope Pa. Sent to be appraised by 2 reputable auction houses; Christies and Rago. Both told me painting was a fake. Requested via email to both Live and Donny Malone to please return money. Nothing. Still waiting … …

I was in France when I bought this item on auction. In five years of buying through auctioneers, this is the first time I experience an unreasonable response to being late, due to my return to the states. And although I have almost always shipped on time, if I have been late houses are always reasonable and I've never been charged a store. It was ONE painting.

Donny Malones auction house is one of the best on the East Coast. HOWEVER-Lot # 213 is missing the pendulum-which is clearly shown in the photos. It WAS NOT identified as a "Quartz" movement replacement. Lot # 241 is fine, Lot # 246 is missing 7 of 8 wood screws on the back panel of the clock., Lot # 253 is in good to go as far as that goes-the lack of photos of the backside is deceptive-this item appears to have a different life before someone put wall hangers on the item-it looks like its prior life was as an "eating tray" in its original life-and that WAS NOT shown at all-as all photos are of the front side

Photo of item viewed from my phone did not disclose so major damage, covered by a repair. I bought what should have been a beautiful wooden jewelry or treasure box. Apparently the entire lid had split in half and it was repaired. Indid not and could not see it when I viewed all thevphotos on my phone during bidding. When I received I contacted the auctioneer. I hadvdone business with him before once before, and my expectation was that he would be reasonable. I told him that the item was damaged and I wanted return it because the damage was not disclosed in the narrative or the photos. He insisted there was a photo of the top, the lid, a said I should have looked at the photos. I had, and I looked at them again, and came to the same conclusion. I explained that not everyone is viewing on a desktop and that itvwas incumbent on him to ensure the disclosure was done fairly. The bottom line is he wouldn't even take back under any circumstances. I will no longer bid on his auctions or visit his shop. He lost a bidder, namely myself, who always looked at his auctions and bought on more than one occasion. Even though as he said, that this rather significant damage was visible on a computer picture, not everyone looks at the photos on a computer before bidding and he could have found a way to be more accomodating or at the very least conciliatory or kind. More to the point he did a very unreasonable job being transparent about the damage. The most visible and important part if the piece was what was damaged.

There were no problems at all in my bidding, winning, and purchasing from this auctioneer. I was especially grateful that Donny Malone put me in touch with a local shipper, Gravity Boxes, who did a great job.

They make liveauctioneer shippers look like dare I say it-clowns.

Wonderfully professional accurate in the description of the product, seamless payment and shipping. Thank you

I had a special request for packing and shipping. The price was fair and I received my painting quickly.

Easy transaction, with fast, secure shipping and a reasonable shipping fee! A very welcome change up from the exorbitant fees some are charging.

I was pleased with the option to include shipping cost in payment and shipping arranged by Donny Malone Auctions

Great necklace!
