Toomey & Co. is a highly reputable auction house
During the past several years, I have been successful bidder on a number of items brought to auction by Toomey & Co. Without exception, every transaction with them has been highly satisfactory. Toomey & Co. offers quality items that are described accurately, and they always meet or exceed my expectations when they arrive at my home. Unlike some other houses offering American Art Pottery, Toomey & Co. always sets realistic reserve prices and offers accurate pre-auction estimates. I also wish to mention something that has nothing to do with Toomey & Co., and which is entirely beyond their control. This pertains to the shipping experience I endured via LiveAuctioneers shipping department in order to receive my item. The cost of shipping increased from $198 pre-auction to $319 after I won the lot, and I was not provided with any explanation for this. In addition, no one with whom I had contact seemed to know where my item was, whether it was packed, which sipping company was to be used (it turned out to be UPS), or when I should expect my item to be delivered. It was finally delivered today, some 15 days after the auction and after I had paid in full the moment I received the emailed invoice. Again, I have nothing but positive things to say about Toomey & Co., but the LiveAuctioneers shipping experience left a great deal to be desired.

Good Experience
Everything went smoothly. The photos were very good. There was a small defect in the item which was clearly described in the condition report. Used Liveauctioneers for shipping which was expensive but the packing was outstanding. Will bid with Toomey again.

Many issues with purchase
One of the items purchased was more compromised than had been described, so much so that I would not have purchased it if I had known.

Auction process & delivery was smooth. Wait for the invoice.
The auction/delivery process went smoothly; however, receive invoice & shipping choices from Toomey & Liveauctioneers and this was confusing. I almost double booked shipping, but Toomey's shipping service promptly refunded their shipping charges. The auction process was smooth and the delivery was quick and secure. I plan on returning for their auctions in the future.

I have found John Toomey & Co to be honest, accurate, and reliable.
I love that Toomey provides accurate and honest condition reports and upfront about what you are bidding on. So many auction companies dance around committing to condition. I have been dealing with Toomey since 1996 and after many, many transactions I have never been disappointed. John Toomey & Co is my all time favorite! Thank you

Professionals to the Core!
The merger of LAMA, Rago, Toomey and Wright had me concerned that the rapid growth would have a negative impact on some of my favorite mid-sized houses. I WAS WRONG! So glad that little has changed from this repeat buyers perspective. I will continue to buy from these houses.

Costly, but understandably so
selection and the auction process is outstanding at this house. The awkward follow through providing shipping was handled admirably by Toomey staff. My only grief was seeing the extra charges detailed for service and payment by credit card, I know the fees generally get passed on to the consumer, but I'd have felt less pain to see them slipped in more gently. At least I am happy to get what I paid for.
