Bidder Reviews for Avra Art Auctions (402)

I've written about Marc and Avra Art before, but based on my most recent experience have to do it again. I've never had such good experiences with an auction as I've had with Marc Franks and Avra Art. Marc really goes out of his way to present a wide range of paintings and other art works, and goes the extra 10 miles to keep his customers happy and satisfied. I can't praise Marc and Avra Art highly enough, and give Avra Art my most enthusiastic recommendation.

I’d not purchased from the company before but won a 24x30 oil painting. They ship internationally which is great and it wasn’t a total rip however the one thing I was a little concerned about was the thin cardboard box the painting turned up in. There was only one layer of thin bubble wrap and that was it. One side of the box had been punctured (probably by the corner of another box) but luckily it was on the back of the painting so didn’t make it to the canvas. I think it would be better to add in another layer of cardboard at least even if it adds a few more dollars to shipping. All in all... I’d buy from them again as it was a good painting at a good price and the transaction process was super efficient.

Anita was one of my clients. I am delighted to acquire this piece as a memory.

Good experience

Auction lots are well described with photos, easy to bid, all information is listed, shipping was quick, items combined for shipping, will likely buy from them again.

if you get fragile things dont let them ship. picture frame busted, lamps where of people, arms busted off and other damage

very good contact and allways happy to come back

Being. First time shopper on this site I found it extremely easy to navigate, browse and Ultimately make a purchase. The description was spot on and the quality and condition of my items were excellent. I highly recommend this vendor!!!

Outstanding experience! Staff was friendly, professional and caring. The quality of our purchases were fantastic and a great value.

Proactive and delivery was faster than I expected and reasonably priced.

From the actual painting, to talking to the owner, everything was great. Packing was spectacular and the painting itself is amazing! I smile every time I look at it. Thank you for a great experience!

All auction houses should have in house shipping!!! Tired of being gouged after spending good money on items and then it may cost you more for shipping than your item. I did not pay my invoice in a timely manner and they left a friendly reminder and made the experience worthwhile.
