Bidder Reviews for Coral Gables Auction (435)

I love buying from Coral Gables Auction. I never have to question the House's decriptions and their photos always reveal every detail of the piece in question. They are also very responsive to any question that might arise. Their shipping service is impeccable.

Very satisfied with my purchases and their in-house shipping. Very careful packing that is also reasonably priced.

This auction house offers some really nice items at a reasonable bid price. I am especially happy with their shipping department. My items were skillfully and carefully packed and arrived in perfect condition. I hope they offer more in the future!

A long-time bidder on Live Auctioneers, I recently started participating in Coral Gables Auction and let me tell you-Coral Gables Auction House is a first-class auction house! I've been beyond happy with every purchase. My items consistently exceed my expectations-more beautiful in person! Payment is simple, and shipping is careful with a quick turnaround. I look forward to every auction!

The pieces received from the last auction was in pristine condition and expertly packed. Each item exceeded my expectations. I will definitely buy from this auctioneer again.

I won an item from Coral Gables over a month ago. They were very good about collecting my money for the item and for the shipping. Since then I have received one email stating that they were very busy and that I would have the tracking info on Monday. 2 Mondays have come and gone and still nothing. They don't return phone calls or emails. Terrible, I ould never recommend them to anyone. Unless of course you enjoy terrible customer service in which case bid away and good luck getting the item you paid for.

This is one on-line auction house I really enjoy working with! Straight forward, no gimmicks, accurate, truthful, reasonable shipping charges which is NOT true of other on-line auction companies!

I have purchased several items through Coral Gables Auction and they have always provided a great item with great service. They make it very easy to pay and help when possible with shipping logistics.

Great experience from the accuracy of the description and bidding process to their assistance connecting men with a shipping company.

The item was exactly as described and the photographs correctly showed everything about the item. Don't worry about shipping. I contacted Coral Gables Auction prior to bidding on this item to figure out how I would get it shipped and how much that would cost should I win. They put me in touch with 3 capable shippers that they deal with. I contacted them. The shippers were helpful but there was a clear choice and I was happy with my choice of shippers and even happier when this treasure arrive in tact. I'm very happy I found this item at auction and was the winning bidder.

Coral Gables Auction presents their items with accurate and honest descriptions and photos. Fast invoicing, very efficient payment processing/acknowledgement, and quick secure inhouse shipping, make Coral Gables Auction a pleasure to deal with.

It was a pleasure transacting with Coral Gables Auction. Superb customer service! Lianni was very accommodating and responsive to my requests. Excellent Shipping Service. This auction house is highly recommended! Will definitely do business again with them!

The pick-up process was well-organized and went smoothly. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Nice people.

Beautiful clock. As described. Our clients are very happy. Coral Gables Auction, as always, are professionals and knowledgeable. Very Good Shipping service

Coral Gables Auction offers quality merchandise and an easy online bidding, payment and pickup format. I found the shippers mentioned on its website reliable.

Haven’t received my painting

Participating in online auctions was new for me. The people at Coral Gables Auction Gallery were very helpful in walking through the process, from bidding to shipping. I chose in house shipping and the packaging was excellent. My Bust sculpture was very well protected, giving me ease of mind before I even unwrapped it. I would definitely use Coral Gables Auction Gallery again.

Coral Gables Auction House was very responsive to my questions, prior to my bidding, and they were very gracious when I picked up my items, making sure that I was happy with my purchases.

Good products, with accurate descriptions. Very fair auction with apparent reserves well disclosed. Prompt shipping. Have won items from them numerous times and have always been satisfied.

Everyone was so helpful at Coral Gables Auction, and they made everything so easy. My items are exactly as they were described and they look amazing in my office. They have a customer for life. Thanks for all your help!!!

This auction company gets some really nice things and I have been able to attend several things at very reasonable prices! Excellent shipping options

Coral Gables collects payments and does not ship items. They then will not respond to phone calls or e-mails. They have done this to me twice and should not be allowed to list with Live Auctioneers.

well done and enjoyable.

The item I won from this auction house was exactly as pictured and the item was shipped in a timely manner. I will definitely buy again from this auction house.

I buy and ship a lot. And I mean a lot. The transaction with the auction house was smooth. Auction House packing was exceptional if you ship fine antiques and glassware, rest assured this people knows how to pack it to arrive. Forget about the run of the mill Franchise packing stores.

Item was exactly as described and the photos correctly showed everything about the item. Don't worry about shipping. I contacted Coral Gables Auction prior to bidding on this item to find out how it would be shipped to me and how much it would cost if I won. They put me in touch with 2 capable shippers that they deal with. I contacted both. Both chargers were useful but there was a clear choice and I was happy with my choice of chargers and even happier when this treasure arrived intact. I am very happy to have found this item at auction and to have been the winning bidder.

Beautiful piece, the plate was in perfect condition, the shipment was extremely professional, I received the piece quickly and without damage.

This is a very well organized auction house, very clean and orderly. Viewing is easy. Checkout is easy. Excellent Shipping

If you look at the online reviews for this auction house, you will notice that people who use their inhouse shipping service have consistently terrible experiences. If you use an outside shipper, everything is fine. They charge a huge amount for in-house shipping and then significantly delay sending out the piece. They sit on your money. When you call, they tell you they lost your phone number, they sent the response to the wrong email address, they were closed for vacation. When I called the auction house and asked them to refund my shipping because it had been a month and they hadn't sent the piece and told them I would leave negative feedback, they threatened me and started a complaint against me as they told me no one on live auctioneers would approve me to bid in an auction if I had an open complaint. They are very aggressive in defending their lies and you will notice that they post rebuttals to anyone leaving negative feedback. I suspect they'll do the same on this review. It's very simple. If you bid and pick up or use an outside shipper, you'll have a good experience. If you use inhouse shipping, you'll overpay and have a horrible experience as the auction house ignores you and lies to you. Because they only use Zelle for shipping payments, you really don't have recourse to recoup your shipping if you're dissatisfied. They won't accept Paypal or Venmo for shipping, a red flag on lack of purchaser protection. Buyer Beware. They're not nice people and will do everything to tell you you're wrong.

Very efficient auction house. They were able to complete the transaction in the shipment in the relatively short period of time. Extremely reasonable shipping rates also. I certainly would do business with them again.

My won lots were very accurately described, upon receipt I found them to exceed expectations (there is only so much even the best photography can achieve). Lovely after sale support for the arranging of shipping; i found their recommendations for shipping agents most helpful, and I'm very satisfied with the service supplied by the local agent (UPS) I selected. I look forward to fututre purchases from this auction house

The auction house responded quickly and courteously to my questions prior to the auction, and the bidding and payment processes were seamless and transparent. The carriers recommended by the auction house were also very helpful and the painting arrived in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to buy from this auction house again and would highly recommend it as a reliable and helpful auction house.

I had a great experience working with Coral Gables Auction. It was my first auction and their team was very responsive and easy to work with. Look forward to working with them again. Excellent Shipping Service

One of the best antique stores in Florida, they are also a highly respected and recognized auction house in the state. The owner is a very kind man and the girl who is in front receiving customers is very attentive. I bought a piece at the auction and went to the store to pick it up since I was in Miami on vacation and I was surprised by the pieces they have, they are wonderful. For my part they have a loyal customer and I hope to do business soon

Coral Gables Auction lot's are exceptional as is their customer service

Very good company to deal with in the auction process. Accurate description and photos, efficient and fast processing and shipment. Thank you

I have participated in numerous CG auctions and have always been satisfied. High quality products, they conduct a fair auction, disclosing reserves and ship promptly.

Offers alot of questionable art. Live Auctioneers should vet their auctions more.

Very professional. Auction moved at good pace. Great communication. Safe fare priced shipping. Hope to do business again!

A reliable auction house with accurate photos, description and feedback. Great shipping experience with the Packaging Store, professional and with great customer service.

I deal with a number of auction houses in the country and in my opinion this is the best. They accurately and honestly describe their offerings. They effectively answer questions and their research is excellent. I’ve had countless transactions with them over the last decade and can happily say I have been more than pleased with my purchases. Excellent Shipping Process
