Bidder Reviews for Mark Lawson Antiques, Inc. (128)

Whole process very smooth

The two watches I won at auction are in better condition than I anticipated. I'm sitting here looking at both of them keeping excellent time. It only took new batteries and a tiny bit of coaxing, and they were off and running.. very happy with these watches!

I had a good experience with them and will buy again. Only thing I would like for them to offer in house shipping, but the shipper wasn't difficult to work with.

Been dealing with Mark for as long as I can remember. 30 plus years? Always up front and stands behind his merchandise.

Excellent buying experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great communication. Hope to buy again soon.

High quality items available, easy transaction, and shipping arrangements were simple. Overall great experience with Mark Lawson Antiques.

Item is as depicted. Only surprise have been good. Been dealing with Mark over 25 years.

Absolutely horrid experience with several thousand dollars of antiquities. All arrived smashed, shipper was recommended by auction house, they admitted responsibility and then said they would not pay for damages. Still now 3 months later, I've received no call back from Mark Lawson, have received no compensation for totally destroyed items. UPS unwilling to work with receiver directly must have cooperation from shipper, but shipper totally AWOL. I would never again buy from this auctioneer or use Milton Pack and Ship. Horrendous customer service. All phone calls to auctioneer go directly to voicemail, never returned. They have their money, they don't care.

After an initial mix up with shipping, the auctioneer did not reply to ANY of the resultant emails I sent, or phone message left, regarding what was 'now' happening with my won item. It was six long weeks after the auction that I eventually received my won item, but have/had never heard back from any of the messages left or emails sent to the auctioneers (of what had happened to my item in the interim).

This is my first experience of purchasing something from an auction. It was very easy, and the description of the item was very accurate. I emailed Mark Lawson during the auction, and their responses were timely and professional.

Mark and his team provide accurate info about the item. Invariably I learn something important that I didn’t know before.

First transaction with Mark Lawson; will bid again.

Hope I will purchase again beautiful jewelry!

If you bid on a lot of auctions as I do it gets confusing when I have to contact third parties to handle the shipping. I prefer auction houses that offer in-house shipping like this one. My experience with this auction house was a good one.

Beautiful pendant arrived fast and in fine condition. Thank you!!!

Mark Lawson was a smooth experience:)

Had a few great experiences up until now. Paid promptly. Shipping options were both unresponsive and required numerous emails and phone calls. Copies of emails sent to house were responded to with form “Out of the office “emails. Not happy

I had never purchased from this auction house and I was happy with the auction and smooth all the way to deliver. The shipping UPS store that works with the gallery was very reasonable and professional.

The necklace I purchased is as represented, but much smaller than expected vs photos, but I should have read the description more carefully about stone sizes. Auction house very responsive and shipped my item quickly.

The transaction went well; the people at Mark Lawson are nice to deal with and the shipping also went well. My only beef is the stone in the ring was damaged which is why I am giving a three-star rating.

Make sure to get quote from both shippers, because one of them is very expensive.

Fast Shipping! Excellent Communications! Highly Recommended! AAAA + + + +

Fast and easy

Have dealt with Mark Lawson for over 30 years. I find him a straight shooter. Describes and presents merchandise clearly and accurately.

Honest, knowledgeable, well-organized, professional. A perfect auction experience from beginning to end.

I purchased two beautiful brooches. Items accurately described. Staff was pleasant, professional and responsive. Thank you! Chrissie
