NEVER AGAIN will I use the 'Live Auctioneers' platform!!!!
I used the 'link' on the Militaria Auctions website to bid on lots I wanted through 'Live Auctioneers' platform rather than 'Lot Tissimo'-BIG MISTAKE!! Although I bid on several items, most of my bids were not received instantly and although many of my bids were for MORE than the eventual 'winning bid', I only 'won' one lot because most of my bids didn't register until AFTER the lot had closed!!! It obviously wasn't just a problem for me as you could actually see numerous bids arriving late 'on screen' when the next lot was underway!! NEVER AGAIN will I bid through the 'Live Auctioneers' platform!!!!

Shipping trap
Once I paid for my lots there were only two options of shippment, one was 72 euro and the other 72 euro. if you dare to send your own courrier they refuse to tell you the adress, send you phone number to a guy who can't speak english, it's impossible. so you pay 72 euro (shipping company estimates the price according to value of you purchase!!). I paid on monday, friday they told me they will ship it next week!! It took them 10 days to send it, also most expensive shippment of 0.5 kg box ever. auction itself is OK they removed item I found was dubious with no problems so untill shipping time everything was fine. but the logistics left very bitter taste

Shipping is very expensive, look for your own alter
Love the items and loved Militaria Auctions for the quick and helpful responds for questions and such. I have no issues for them, BUT I have one with their shipping partners: It's costly. When the shipping costs more than the items you win (In this case, it cost over 100 in US dollars), you cant help but wonder if there a better option... But, despite the costly shipping fee, the items came from Europe to west cost USA in under 2 days (For 100 + dollars, it better....) But overall, I recommend this auction. Just look for cheaper shipping companies.

no reasonable shipping service available!
There is no shipping service from the auction house. The only options are two external companies with ridiculous pricing, making our purchases very expensive afterall. Where other auctionhouses ship for E. 20-30,-as a totally normal service (after earning a 45 % commission, this is what you should be able to expect), from Wavre you at least pay E. 145,. competitors'quote was E. 445,! So the only alternative is to pick it up yourself. This pick up service in itself is fine, being helped by a very friendly employee (who is also not happy with the situation because he has to be available in his spare time!). But having to come from far, this is hardly an option.

Dear Sir, sorry that you are not fully satisfied but we are à bit surprised that you just discover it because you have been buying from us for almost 5 years! Moreover, this is indicated on liveauctionner, under EACH object on which you bid, on our website and we reminded you of this at the start of the sale! So if you bid it is that you accept the condition, we are a little team and we can not make the package ourselves. And yes when you buy for almost €8, 000 there is also insurance to pay because you should be one of those who want a cheap package without insurance and will file a claim if there is a problem. Indeed the partners we propose are sometisme costly but it is the price of trust and quality service for this kind of objects. All buyers are always free to find one on their own but we cannot afford to suggest companies whose we are not 100 % sure of, if you know a better and cheaper one: use it! Militaria Auctions

Relevant information and good picture
Very bad experience: general terms and conditions are almost impossible to read and they are not commun one as it s impossible to send back the item if you think something is wrong. With other autions you can do it within 14 days but here not. And when you ask a question, the only answer you reveived is "you are a bad customer my lawyer will contact you". Hey guy I just asked for information, that s all... Explanations on item are not relevant and the minimum one. Very bad experience, will not do it again.

Mr Olivier Harduin is one of those rare (fortunately!) people who contact you before to have paid to find out if they can return the item they've bought. Before they have been even received it! And when you tell him that the famous 14-day cooling-off period is only valid for online sales... he insults you! It's worth noting that Mr Harduin didn't return the item he bought! These remarks on his part are totally unjustified, but with such an attitude it's hardly surprising! He will not buy again at the next sale? Thanks God!   Xavier Aiolfi   Monsieur Olivier Harduin fait partie ces rares (heureusement!) personne qui vous contactent avant d’avoir pay é pour savoir s’il peuvent vous rendre l’objet qu’ils ont achet é. Avant m ê me l’avoir re ç u!   Et lorsque vous lui dites que les fameux 14 jours r é tractation pour rendre l’objet ne sont valable exclusivement que pour une vente uniquement en ligne … il vous insulte!   Il est à remarquer que Monsieur Harduin n’a pas renvoy é l’objet qu’il a achet é! C’est normal car c’est une pi è ce originale.

This auction was the most extensive and impressive sale of of German volunteer militaria I have ever seen. I wish I could have been present for the on-site auction. That said, I am very happy with the item I did win via online bidding. I would highly recommend Militaria Auctions to interested collectors.

Good auction and item, but beware of absolutely overpriced shipping costs
The auction and the item itself were good. The hammer price + premium needs to be paid to the auction house. That is ok. However, then the „ nightmare “began. Buyers beware of absolutely overpriced shipping costs!!! The auction house doesn’t ship itself, but outsourced shipping to an external service provider. One gets the shipping fees from them separately. And their shipping fees are just insane and ridiculous. They wanted to charge me 65 Euros !!!) for 2 ID cards (postcard size, weight 100 gram) from Belgium to Germany. The ID cards fit into a small, normal letter envelope. Actual, real shipping costs (registered and insured) would have been not even 15 Euros. But they charge you a pick up fee, a packing fee and in my case double postage fee. All in all, way overpriced. I had no luck in contacting them. The shipping company didn ‘ t reply to my emails. Their motto seems to be, pay or you don’t get your item. I refused to pay and organized a pick up by myself through the auction house (they are helpful and reply to emails). So beware of the shipping costs!

Sorry that you are not satisfied. Indeed we do not ship ourselves and we offer two shipping companies to buyers, but you are free to use your own one you wish. Theses conditions are listed on Live auctioneers in the sale’s details, under each item, on our website and we reminded them in English at the begining of the sale. But it is surely easier to criticize than to question yourself. Happy collecting

shipping cost
Contracting outside shipping agents to ship items cost way too much. Stopped by customs also which added over two weeks to deliver. Then they assessed custom fees which UPS didnt advise and when they came to leave items I didn't have money available for them which added another 3 days to redeliver.

2 Months Later Item Not Received
I won 2 lots in an auction in early April and 2 months later I have not received one of them. I have sent email after email and the auction house does not respond or provide a useless response. In addition the one item I did receive appears to be a fraud, it was supposed to be a folder from the Fuhrer Bunker and it looks like it was bought at Office Max a couple years ago. Combine this with not providing the second item and this equates to fraud. The other reviews shown on here provide a history of the same type of unethical activity. I have asked for a refund and have not received a response again. I am filing complaints with Live Auctioneers and U. S and Belgian authorities to investigate for potential international fraud activities.

Dear Sir, We are sorry that you are not satisfied but this item is 100 % original, all items come from the same source directly from a ww2 veteran and they have been published in several books and TV documentary. About the missing item you have been warned that you will receive two differents packets, you even got the tracking number and you neved answered! So you should be careful of what you write. We make available to Live auctioneer all the proofs and copies of our exchanges. Regards

Very expensive postage!
Very expensive postage. Inside Europe I paid 180 Eur for 1.5kg with an Belgian Courier (the one and only approved by Auction House). The auction house doesnt respect yhe client, slowly communication, past over 45 days until they put package on courier. They doesnt send, and expect the local courier to come and take items won, after you paid a lot of money for postage. Very, very expensive! I triple my costs of winning bid with this Auction House because they doesnt offer in-house shipping!
