Honest Reliable Organization
I would not hesitate to bid on anything they were selling. Their in house shipping is superior and cheaper than the alternatives. The packaging and care in shipping is over the top and some of the best I’ve received. Bud with confidence that you will get excellent service and care.

Accommodated my shipping requests with no problem.
Very professional auction house. Received my lots with no issues. They even rolled up a poster and removed a frame to make the shipping less expensive.

FAKE SIGN! BUYER BEWARE!
I recently purchased a sign from Donley Auctions. After having TAC (Authentication company) look at the sign, it was confirmed to be not authentic. Their entire catalog had multiple signs. Many of the signs listing description stated reproduction, Fantasy, or unknown confirmed date. However, the sign I purchased online did not state any of these key words. I tried reaching out to them to get a refund but the owner stated the best he could do is re sell the sign. The owner also state he couldn't tell the difference between a real and fake sign. Terrible customer service, responsiveness, and company. BUYER BEWARE!

Would Purchase Again
I have just bought a lot from Donley Auctions and was very impressed with everyone I dealt with their. I am located outside the US and I wanted to use my own account with a carrier to get the lot to me. They were very responsive and did exactly what they said they would. Thanks to all at Donley but particularly the shipping department.

Read the disclaimer associated with authenticity.
The Item I received is a replica of a period era war relic, not what I expected.

Thank you for the 4-star rating and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate your friendly suggestion regarding shipping costs and transparency. We understand that shipping is a major factor for buyers. Because we ship worldwide and items vary so greatly in size and fragility, pinning down exact costs prior to packing can be challenging. However, we value your feedback as it helps us understand what is most important to our bidders. We appreciate you bidding with us and hope to see you at the next auction!

Very inaccurate description of quality of "Professional Restoration"
I recently bought a 50c "golden falls" machine. Under the lot details, it listed it as "professionally restored" and that it works as it should. Couldn't be farther from the truth. The inside mechanism is a grimy greasy mess and the reel strips are all cut and patched together. This machine is a true Frankenstein and doesn't work (I believe because of all the grease and oil everywhere and it doesn't pay out as it should). Not only are the reel strips patched and don't match anything I can find in the catalog, but the reel disks are a mess with extra holes cut in and covers welded over some of the payout holes. It's also missing a payout finger that engages with the disk. A true piece of garbage.

We are very sorry to hear that the Golden Falls machine did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the restoration quality. We take descriptions very seriously, and it is never our intention to misrepresent an item. Given the specific mechanical issues you described (the reel strips and the internal mechanism), we would like to discuss this with you directly to understand what happened and how we can address the situation. Please give our office a call at ********** or email us at ********** at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, The Donley Auctions Team
