Bidder Reviews for Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries (493)

Mid-Hudson auction house was very honest & accommodating. They went way beyond the bare minimum required. I hope to bid & win more items from them in the future. It was a very enjoyable experience. Item far exceeded my expectations in speed off shipping, condition & beauty.

Great transaction......

Always a great team, highly recommendet. Thank You so much, youre fabulous auction house!!!!!!

Great Seller

I have bought several items on different occasions. They are always professional and responsive. Quality items and accurate descriptions. I will buy again

I'm thrilled with my winnings and the auction house was very easy to communicate with, and very kind. It's a pleasure to do business with an auction house that takes it's customer service seriously.

I used Live Auctioneer's shipping partner for simple checkout. It was quick and easy. The items were perfectly packed and arrived on time with UPS. Items were as described and no issues.

These people had "In House Shipping" on the listing and on the notice that I won. I paid the bill and heard nothing. three weeks later I got a call from UPS store 1757 billing me $144.00 for shipping. My piece was released by them without notification or options then they claim they didn't know who shipped to me. They tried to blame Live Auctioneers saying they have no control of their listings. In my opinion Joanne is a liar at best and more likely a crook. She has no idea who she releases other peoples property to?? That is a lie that she put in writing. She doesn't see her listings say In House Shipping and Not Ship With Live Auctioneers? That's either a lie or negligence. Disgusting customers service. No owning mistakes in this company. Just pass the blame to Live Auctioneers. I would highly suggest you not bid with them.

Very nice and professional folks.

While not necessarily the fault of Mid-Hudson, in general shipping costs for items won at auction have become excessive. It's as though they know that they have you over a barrel and will charge whatever they can get away with, shipping charges often eclipsing the cost of the item purchased. Good way to cool down, dare I say freeze, the online auction market.

Good experience

Great Auction!

I called to ask about payment and shipping auctions and got instant and valuable responses. These people know their stuff.

The celt I bought was described as ancient, which it is not. It's an obvious fake. No reply to my request to return it. Appears that they are just cons. They couldn't even keep their lies vaguely straight when writing descriptions of the piece. Be vary wary.

Easy to work with

The communication with the Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries was concise and they quickly forwarded my items over to a third party shipper and I was able to get my items in record fast time. Highly recommended.

Thank you

I received an item with significantly smaller dimensions than listed in the product description. The item is 1/3 smaller than listed. They scammed me by charging the price of a full sized product but sent a much smaller one. When I reached out for help (with photos, measurements, and screenshots of the original listing dimensions) they were very rude and are refusing to issue a refund on the product. Now I’m stuck with an unusable piece that I spent hundreds on. STAY AWAY.

A pleasure to do business with real professionals.

I have a business where I repair antique clocks and sell collectables. I bought this item to sell, but think I will hang on to it instead.

Beautiful moonstones!

I’m very happy with the item that arrived today by UPS Store1747. The responsiveness of the auctioneer was excellent. My request was handled swiftly and honorably.

https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/181170304_charles-w-gilhousen-silver-nitrate-photo I paid $30 for the small picture but then received a shipping bill for $81 from their preferred shipper. I am in Pennsylvania and the auction is in New York state. They are very slow to respond. I have given up on getting the auction item. I will never bid again. Invoice from Newburgh Shipping and Storage $81.12 Can’t imagine what’s going on. Will look into this first thing when I return on Monday morning. So sorry for this inconvenience. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Joanne Mid-Hudson Galleries ********** This has been going on for 3 weeks now. They can just keep the $40.. I won't buy from this auction company again.

Joan and Richard are wonderful and I'm very pleased with my items.

At auction of Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries on 24th of February 2024 I bought a lot 0100A, which was descripted as a painting by Arnaldo Tamburini. Lot was paid immediately (Invoice # **********) and paid via liveauctioneers platform by credit card. I organized shipping, paid import taxes. Yesterday I opened a package and I saw that it is cheap print (chromolitography). At auction this lot was descripted: Arnaldo Tamburini (1 **********) was an Italian painter with a predilection for painting humorous scenes of monks. Oil on board. Ornate gilt openwork frame. 11 "H x 8" W (work itself) and 16 "H 14" W (Overall size) At first, I cant imagine how auction house can descript such item as a painting, because it is a cheap chromolitography. Second, they described it as a painting by Arnaldo Tamburini, but it is unsigned. It is an absolute fake and scam! I read a reviews of this auction house and I see, that it is not a mistake, it is a repeating act. It is a cheap fake of the painting which was sold 2010 at Weschlers auction house. Yesterday I contacted auction house and received an answer, that they can resell this fake! So, they are ready to cheat somebody else! I am starting legal procedures with this auction house.

They were quick to answer my question about how best to ship a painting and the UPS store they recommended (store 1747) quickly picked it up, packaged it really well and delivered it in perfect shape for a good price, as compared to what it would have taken me to drive to the auction house. Couldn't be more pleased.

MH did provide shipper information, however, new bidders have no way of knowing which shippers is most reliable …

Item as described, very good communication.

Nicely done! Thank you.
