Bidder Reviews for Magnum Auctions (271)

This was my first purchase from Magnum Auctions, and the process was seamless from beginning to end. I requested a Condition Report, which was provided on a timely basis. The Lotton glass vase which I purchased was as pictured (except less vivid than the photos which were taken under bright display lighting), and the description and Condition Report were accurate. I plan to do business with Magnum again in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I would do business with these folks again-very responsive

I really enjoy this auction house, the descriptions are always so thorough and accurate. The invoicing is fast and easy and most of all they have in-house shipping which is reasonable in cost as well as items being very well packed. They seem to always have unusual and hard to find items which makes it even more fun!!

I had a wonderful experience with Magnum Auction. This was my first time buying from them and everything went well. They answered my questions promptly. Items were packed very professional and arrived safely. Would buy again from them. They sell wonderful merchandise and are a great place to deal with. They would get a five star rating in my book!!!!!!!!!!! A + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Mary of Vermont

Give this auction house a shot. I have been very satisfied.

John was personable and exceedingly patient addressing my questions. I recommend this auction house without reservation.

The beautiful item descriptions show pride in what they're selling. And I believe gives buyers that, "I've got to have it" energy, which is great for business 🙂 The owners, and staff are responsive, helpful, and kind. Superfast, secure shipping, and lovely items were exactly as described 👏 👏

Great exchange quick response! Happy!

Great to work with and high quality items

Highly recomended as a quality auction house

This is my second time purchasing from Magnum and I'm just as pleased with the time, knowledge, and care they put into their auctions from start to finish. I personally understand how laborious packing fragile glassware and antiques can be, so I appreciate the job they do! I'd rather pay more and have my items arrive safe and sound than be carelessly damaged in transit. Thank you for a wonderful auction, I look forward to the next one!

Looking forward to buying again.

A + + to Magnum Auctions

I placed a bid not during but prior to thinking I'd lose but to my surprise I won this item love bohemian lass saw it and said fingers crossed it was pure luck and they are as described and beauties

The packaging was excellent. The shipping charges were a little too much.

Perfect items, easy transaction, fast shipping-many thanks!

But FedEx Ground dropped the ball on the delivery.

I have bought numerous items in several of their auctions. Each time I feel like Christmas when I unpack my items. I know these guys and they are experts in the glass field. Their descriptions are accurate. Their shipping is superb. They seem to always have things I can't live without although I've been buying and selling art glass almost 25 years.

I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with my purchases from Magnum and my personal experience with their staff. Items were packed meticulously well with extra care and held until we could meet for a delivery. I experienced kindness and great service with everyone I encountered. I would highly recommend Magnum to anyone in the future. Thank you!

Beware: they will automatically without authorization from you charge your credit card purchase price plus a bunch of fees plus sales taxes, even if you have filed a tax-exemption. Could not get tax refunded.

This auction house has high quality antique items! They definitely seek to offer those hard to find items. Descriptions will not disappoint! Highly recommend these honest and trustworthy folks

great bidding experience......... great items to bid on......... looking forward to their next sale

We will never again bid with this auction house. In addition to the 19 % buyer's premium of which we were aware, this auction house (or Live Auctioneers-hard to tell who was responsible) added about $10 in unspecified "processing fees". But that was relatively minor (just annoying). The real problem was with Magnum's shipping and shipping costs. They ship with FedEX which is inherently expensive. But then the two small items in the lot on which we had the winning bid were insanely overpacked. The lot arrived in a huge box. The lot consisted of two small "miniature lamps" each of which could have been sent to us in a standard USPS Priority Mail box weighing less than 3 pounds. Cost using USPS Priority Mail would have been about $11. Instead of $22 shipping, Magnum charged us $90. Our $175 winning bid wound up costing us about $308. Our second complaint is that Magnum does not respond to any inquiries and seems to route everything through Live Auctioneers. While Live Auctioneers provides a somewhat useful service, there is no reason for them to be involved in billing and payment processing. Other than making an auction available for online bidding, Live Auctioneers should get out of the way and not be involved at all in anything else associated with that auction.

Beautiful items accurately described with speedy delivery. I look forward to their next auction
