Bidder Reviews for Ralph Fontaine Heritage Auctions Inc. (287)

Ralph Fontaine's Heritage Auctions, is one of the first auctions houses, I used to build my clock collection. Over the years I have won several clocks. Every time, I found the item to be as described and, in the condition, stated. Payment was easy and shipping was quick. When I went to pick up the clocks in person, Ralph was always accommodating to my schedule. I look forward to my next find.

The whole experience was great. Ralph was very professional and very knowledgeable.

No surprises just a good company to do business with

I bought a vintage Dark Brown/Black full length Mink Fur coat. I was skeptical the skins might be dried in some area's, so I contacted Ralph's to inquire. I received the coat today and it is an excellent coat and i am happy with the entire transaction. I have saved Ralph Fontaine Heritage Auctions for further bidding.

Look forward to bid on future auctions

Lamp was exactly as described just beautiful. Look forward to bid on future auctions.

Ralph Fontaine is a Champion among men and a shining Asset to the Liveauctioneers Community of Antiques Auction Houses. Ralph personally went far far beyond any expectation to accommodate my needs as a buyer! …. Bending a few of his own reasonable policies to make sure to give me the best possible customer experience! We need more people like Ralph in the Auction industry … AND the world at large! Thanks Ralph! ❤ ️ 🌈

We so look forward to his auctions and I always try to buy something and we always do. His auctions are so much fun and he always has the nicest antiques and vintage items to bid on. He is always there to help with anything. He was there when we drove up and helped us load up, what more can you ask!

Highly recommended local auction for antiques and collectables.

All went well

Not happy first go around.

Excellent experience all around. Items were as described. Pick up was easy, and they were extremely accommodating. Looking forward to their next auction.

The jeweler provided a beautiful piece that I purchased at an excellent price. Although it was out of control of the Jeweler, the shipping service provided by Live Auctioneers was horrible. No communication! Took two weeks and many calls and emails to get tracking and shipping information. Very undependable and unprofessional shipper. I will not order frim Live Auctioneers again!

Everyone is probably tired of hearing me rave about this auction house, but I'm going to do it again. First class merchandise, great service, easy pick up, great knowledge, great descriptions, honest from A to Z. Ralph and his son are a pleasure to do business with!

Called to schedule pick up. Very quick and friendly response. Got a beautiful lamp at a great price. Will buy from this house again.

I love his auctions! I was lucky enough to win three items. I called Ralph and asked him if it was possible to pick them up on a Saturday and he said it's my day, but I will be there@ 8:15. We drove up From Bridgewater, which is about 175 miles and there he was right on time. Just Awesome!

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Fontaine Auctions. They took care of absolutely everything!

I’m very happy with this item. I will do business with this company again.

Excellent auction house. Transaction went easily from beginning to the end. Will definitely follow and do business with auction house again.

thank you so much

I had so much fun with this auction house, I cannot wait for their next show. I had my eye on three lots, and had some questions, and the owner was quick to respond to each and every one of them, even though it was the same question for each lot …. he patiently and in a very good natured fashion answered them all. By the end we were both laughing at either end as the questions involved spitting barnyard animals. Yup, you read that right …. spitting duckies. They were bronze ducks for a fountain that I fell in love with. I won two out of three …. the goose got away, but everyone at Fontaine was so happy for me I got them as I really loved them. It felt like a family affair, and that was really nice. The ducks arrived safely and were exactly as described and it is now up to me to get the water pumping and them spitting as I promised the auction house a photo. In short it was an all around great experience, not only for the top notch excellent professionalism and customer care I received, but they also clearly enjoy what they do and they have fun with it, and that fun is contagious. So I’ll most definitely be back for their next offerings and I suggest you do the same if you want to find some really fun, unique items, meet and treat with some truly wonderful super pleasant and fun professionals and see how I think an auction house should be run. They do a superb job all around. Just don’t outbid me on any water spitting barnyard inhabitants, ok? Ok! Cheers, John

After discovering a problem with the LiveAuctioneers bidding functionality during the auction, Mr. Fontaine and his son went out of their way to help us-actually help ME figure out a way to obtain an item that my wife so badly wanted. He spent a lot of time beyond our needed interaction and my wife left extremely happy. Both Mr. Fontaine and his son epitomize excellent customer service. My highest compliments.

My Wife was so happy that I won this item. Thanks, Ralph

Best ever, fully transparent!! Simple to work with!

Im I was very satisfied with the auctioneers. they are very friendly, knowledgable and helpful at pickup. Highly recommend them to all. Im now a follower!

As I said many times, Ralph is honest as it gets in the auction business. His descriptions are spot on and every transition is smooth. Easy pick up and friendly staff. Have been doing business with him for forty yrs.

I can't believe the deal I got on these two items. Great quality antiques for such a great price. Ralph is also one of the nicest guy's in the Business, always there to help you with anything. I love his auctions.

We were high bidder for a piece of furniture via on-line LiveAuctioneers. Ralph was very helpful on the phone setting up payment and pickup time. We had to drive long distance, and he even came in on a holiday to allow us pickup access. Good man and good auction house.

Best buying and shipping experience

very nice company always quick to respond

Really enjoy quality offerings by Ralph Fontaine. Accurate description-Item was better than described, it was easy to arrange pickup. Good communication with me as purchaser. This Auctioneer makes buying fun and easy. Thank you for another great buy! Can't wait to see what you bring to the next auction!
