Excellent and accurate descriptions, great customer service, and unbelievably fast shipping
My headline says it all. This makes at least the 20th auction I have bid and won in, and I will keep coming back to Thousand Planet again and again. Keep up the great work!

Almost perfect in every way!
I have been a very satisfied repeat customer of Thousand Planet ("TP") for about four years, a number of auctions, and several hundred items, and I can hardly wait for the next auction! Everything from the accurate and informative lot descriptions to the packaging and shipping of your purchases is handled with the utmost care. They are very fast, too, and get your items shipped immediately after an auction. TP is also very responsive to any of my questions and message me right back. As a collector of certain things TP specializes in, their high level of service is greatly appreciated. In fact, I have to say that everything about TP is just about perfect! And thank you for all the wonderful things that I have bought in your auctions. Keep up the fantastic job you are doing.

The Chung Dzi beads are refinished, recently.
Be aware that the beads have been reground. the patina is lost, and the exterior is unsatisfactory.

Item never arrived
It’s been over 3 weeks since the auction and my item never arrived. Shipment tracking stopped updating 2 weeks ago. I contacted the auction house for help and did not get a response. I’m very disappointed and won’t be purchasing from their auctions in the future.

ThousandPlanetDec 04, 2025
Dear Valued Bidder, Thank you for your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about the delay you experienced. We would like to clarify that your parcel was dispatched promptly as soon as payment was received. The shipping method selected was standard registered post, which unfortunately does not provide live tracking updates once it leaves the origin country. In the current global postal environment, standard international mail can take 3-4 weeks to arrive, and occasional tracking gaps are common due to USPS and international postal handling times. For future orders, we highly recommend using DHL Express, which delivers within 4-5 business days and offers full real-time tracking for a more reliable experience. We apologize for any frustration caused and welcome you to contact us directly anytime if you need assistance. We always aim to help and ensure our bidders receive their items safely. Thank you for your understanding. ThousandPlanet Auction House

Affordable and Responsive
I love the items I have gotten even though I question their authenticity. I love the story behind them but I question why they don't include a written description when shipped. They already have made the claims on the description so it forces me to go back, find the item, copy the and invoice and then print them out when it should all be included. That said, the prices are well below what they should be for an authentic item. So it's buyer beware. I love the stories you have written already so this would be minimal additional effort. I greatly appreciate the prompt response as to my questions and that is great customer service.

ThousandPlanetDec 04, 2025
Regarding your concern about authenticity, we want to assure you that all pieces offered in our auctions are sourced, reviewed, and described by our specialist team with care. Every item is sold as described in the listing, and we always aim for accuracy and transparency. As for including printed descriptions in the shipment, we appreciate your suggestion. We currently do not place printed catalog descriptions inside parcels to keep shipping costs low and avoid additional handling risks, but your comment is very helpful. We will explore adding optional printed descriptions or providing an easier way for bidders to download them directly. Thank you again for your kind words about our storytelling and responsiveness. We truly appreciate your support and hope to serve you again in future auctions. Warm regards, ThousandPlanet Auction House

So far, nice items with good service.
Received items in well packaged box. All items were nice and as shown, but with the exception of one item which was not the one ordered. A packaging error probably because of the similarity of the lot numbers. However, they have committed to making it right. So far, Thousand Planet have proven itself reliable.

ThousandPlanetDec 04, 2025
We apologize again for the packaging error involving one of your lots. Although rare, such mistakes can happen due to similar lot numbers, and we are grateful for your understanding. We are committed to correcting the issue promptly to ensure you receive the correct item. Thank you for recognizing our efforts and reliability. We greatly appreciate your trust, and we look forward to providing you with an even smoother experience in future auctions. Warm regards, ThousandPlanet Auction House

My purchase from ThousandPlanet
This is the first time that I bid with this auction house. I’m very pleased that I won the antiquity that I bid on, and the item was carefully packaged, and was received by me within several days.

As described but NO COA/provenance
While generally pleased with ThousandPlanet, I have more issues with LiveAuctioneers. They claim that they vet their sellers but there are zero reassurances by either LiveAuctioneers or ThousandPlanet that the products are authentic. There should be a more thorough vetting process.

ThousandPlanetDec 04, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear you are generally pleased with your experience, and we appreciate your thoughts regarding authenticity and vetting procedures. We would like to clarify that in our auction listings, we do not state that Certificates of Authenticity (COA) or formal provenance documents are included. Items without COA are offered at lower starting prices, and all bidders are encouraged to review the descriptions carefully before placing bids. We aim to describe each item as accurately as possible, and all lots are sold strictly as presented in the listing. We appreciate your understanding, and your comments will be taken into consideration as we continue improving our service. Thank you again for your participation and support. Warm regards, ThousandPlanet Auction House

SELLING FAKE TURQUOISE, and misrepresenting size and authenticity of items.
They are selling fake/cheap things and passing them off as authentic. I bought a stone amulet that is 1/16th the size depicted, a fraction of the size weight and value, and there's no way tis that old. Poor form.

ThousandPlanetSep 26, 2025
We respectfully disagree with this feedback. All items are sold as-is, with detailed descriptions including weight and dimensions listed in each catalog entry. We do not advertise turquoise or other materials as “natural” or “gem-certified” without testing, and no claim of mine origin or authenticity was made. Auction estimates are guidelines only; final prices are determined by open bidding. We encourage all bidders to carefully read listings and request clarification before bidding. We stand by the fairness of our descriptions and the transparency of the auction process.
