Very accomodating and a pleasure to work with
I purchased a piece of comic art and was able to arrange a date and time to retrieve the item while I was in the area. Mr. Shapiro was accomodating and a pleasure to meet. They also had some beautiful artwork for sale in their gallery. I would not hesitate in doing business again with Shapiro Auctions.

Very good communication
Everything went smoothly with the auction and payment. The hitch came when one of the shippers recommended by Shapiro had poor communication and finally said it missed some sort of deadline for shipping, which I did not understand. I had to scramble to fine an alternate shipper.
