Bidder Reviews for Dargate Auction Galleries (94)

very good

I had never purchased from Dargate before this transaction. I phoned Dargate to make sure that I knew how to have my item shipped to me. The woman with who I spoke was rude, abrupt, and completely unhelpful. She gave me the impression that I was bothering her by asking my questions. I will NEVER participate in another auction if I see the name Dargate associated with it.

Very accommodating and personable. Great communication. Thank you

From the very clear description and sharp photographs to the easy on-line check-out to the very competitive shipping quotes from one of their associate companies, Dargate has shown themselves to be at the top of their game. Looking forward to the next auction!

One shipper had a high quote, the second then DOUBLED the price AFTER picking up items. Claimed TRAY was so big it doubled cost. I have accounts with UPS and NEVER pay these prices. DONE bidding with DARGATE. too bad items are always nice. THESE auction houses need to do IN HOUSE SHIPPING! Their contracted shippers are Greedy and overpriced and costing them bidders.

The recommended UPS store took over 1 month to ship this item. They were REALLY bad to deal with.

Asked via phone (twice) for additional photo's and info... promised but never delivered. Arranged for a telephone bid... never happened. Among their recommended shipper's list ~ contacted four that they listed, only two responded with estimates.

We enjoy working with Dargate. Good people.

Post auction it was a bit tedious contacting Dargate, it took a couple of days, and making payment wasn't as smooth as it could have been. Jean at Dargate suggested several shipping companies, of which I choose UPS on the college campus. That's another story, Nick was the contact at this UPS store. He and the staff were not responsive to my inquiries about getting my item shipped or providing shipment status ie. tracking number. I was very surprised when my package arrived, no one advised me the item was shipped or the tracking number.

I bid on lot 20. My computer showed I was high bidder. I never received an acknowledgment about the situation from an extremely rude staff member. She stated she would not reopen the lot, nor would she talk to any superior, etc. when I called Monday, they didn ‚ Ä ô t show any concern or help with shipping. I want to cancel this transaction and never deal with them again.

After the Auction they took one lot away from me over my objection. Still waiting for my lots 17 days after the sale.

A very good auction experience with Dargates. I would highly recommend Dargates for both buyers and consignors.

I never received my item. That's the problem with online auctions, they take so long to get around to shipping, and if you're like me, you forget who your shipping company is for that auction. I have about 5 to 7 auctions a week I am in. Multiply that by 3 or 4 weeks out waiting for shipping... that's 20 to 30 auction companies and different shippers!

This is the second auction that the item I bid on and won was different than what was presented at pick up.

I purchased an item more than 3 weeks ago. It has not been shipped yet The item is still sitting at UPS store all paid for This is not acceptable

Extremely slow service.. STILL waiting to receive my item

I would drop them! Deplorable auction house! Will never use then again

Great people to deal with hope to do more

The items were actually better than I expected!!!
