Great experiences with Forum!
Enjoyed our opportunity to participate online auction with Forum. There was a glitch in payment process but was resolved quickly and package arrived promptly and so well packed. The lot we purchased is being given to our local museum. So appreciative of the selection of artwork in the auction. Look forward to participating again!
