Bidder Reviews for Clarke Auction Gallery (505)

my experience was really very good: very kind Person and well organized.

WONDERFUL ITEMS. Even better than expected.

ok otherwise

Ditto above

Some of the best items we have purchased come from Clarke Auctions! Customer Service Support is top of the line, could not ask for anything more!

straight talk, responsive, easy to deal with

Overall a good experience, and I am happy with the item I purchase. My only complaint is that there was one drawer pull missing which was not noted in the description. I wound up replacing all the pulls so no big problem. Staff was very nice and easy to deal with as was delivery option they recommended.

Well run operation

Clarke Auction Gallery was very helpful in putting me in contact with a private art mover who was extremely reasonable and very fast!

Thus auction house gives accurate dimensions and extra pictures! They are fantastic and my chandelier was electrified cleaned a little and looks drop dead gorgeous!! It was picked up at convince! My other statues We’re assisted by great strong helpers! I will keep my eyes open to upcoming auctions! A must! Barbara

I am fortunate to live near Mr. Clarke’s Auction House — every transaction with him and his team of exceptional professionals is a treat! Awesome treasures at great prices, and everyone with whom I’ve interacted at Clarke’s has been cheerfully helpful and friendly — who could ask for anything more?:)

Payment is very difficult, They don't accept credit cards, the shipper cannot be found on the website, The shipper provided has only one person to answer the offer, I got it 21 days after the auction date.....

Called to schedule pick up. Confirmed time 1 hour before scheduled pick up time. Items were pulled and ready for me. Couldn't have been easier.

thanks

Would have been nice to have turn-key shipping. UPS house did a good job.

Might think about buying on eBay next time for silver.

thanks

We bid on an artist we collect and we were able to get the painting at a good price, which was the low estimate. The information on the painting online was complete and accurate. There was most likely a reserve at the low end of the price estimate and the house was bidding up to that point. I doubt on this item there was another bidder, but it was clear that there were multiple bidders on other items up that day. The buyer's premium was higher than normal and you should be aware of that. We picked up out item and everything was done on a professional level.

I have always had good luck at Clarke. Reputable people. But with the pandemic and no on-site viewing, I bought perhaps the ugliest thing in my 25 years in business. Can't blame them. But I want to hire their photographer-if he made this bust look good, imagine what he can do with my face!

If you are looking to consign high quality items, this is one of the best auction houses to do so in NY

Quick answers to my emails, and pick up was quick and hassle free, even in the midst of a pandemic. Very smooth experience.
