Did not respond to my issues
I bid and purchased 3 different locomotives the description said one was still factory sealed, the other one said with lights and the 3rd one was rated at a 7plus. On arrival one engine was as described. The one that was stated as factory sealed was not the one that was listed as lighted was not. I sent email from their site, never got a response. I bid according to the description and pictures provided. I have 800 plus in the items. I probably will not continue this type of purchases in the future..

Harris Toy and Train auctions
Another very successful purchase through Harris Toy and Train Auctions. From start to finish everything went extremely smoothly with quit fulfillment and shipping with the order. I’ve purchased through Harris in the past and would be 100 % confident and using them in the future.

Fragile Items Packed with Care
One of the most important things I care about in making these distant purchases is the packaging. I have to say the model train engines I purchased were packed with a great deal of care, and they arrived in a timely fashion. Packed in soft material all around to protect them from the bumps in transit. And I waited only a few days after making the payment.

very good service.
I will bid with Harris Toy auction again. They have some unusual and hard to find toys. I very much enjoyed looking at their on-line auction. Thank you....

# 3 locomotives
The three locomotive were as described and or actually depicted in the pictures. Nice, smooth transaction and I would deal with them again as I have in the past.

Bought a large lot of boxed items, about 1/3 of the items were empty boxes with no contents.
Bought a large lot of boxed items, about 1/3 of the items were empty boxes with no contents. Well I understand an auction house can not know if all contents are present, it is easy to know there if there are empty boxes. Seems disengenious to sell items like via the internet while not at least verifying to that level. I learned a lesson as well which is to ask auction houses for pictures of contents of all boxes to at least be more informed.

Substantial seller fees and shipping.
Be aware of the added cost of bidding on any items, seller cost and shipping can make your purchase upside-down.. They do ship fairly fast and the packing was fair, un boxed brass items could have been more secured. Overall all was ok.

double billed me on 2 different credit cards,
terrible experience, unable to contact them in a timely manner, will not do business with them again
Harris Toy and Train AuctionsFeb 06, 2025
Hi Bill-We do not process your credit card for payment. If you have a card on file with LiveAuctioneers, it is automatically charged after invoices are sent out, therefore it is impossible for our auction house to charge your card twice. We do not even have access to your card on file with LiveAuctioneers, so we have no ability to charge a card on our own. We contacted you timely to resolve this "alleged double charge", and in fact, you told us you were not billed twice. You could not find the alleged second charge after reviewing your credit card transactions, therefore we thought the matter had been resolved with you. LiveAuctioneers also confirmed you were only charged once. We shipped your item promptly, and even though there was no double charge, you still decided to dispute the one charge with your credit card company. We encourage you to read the bidder portion of the LiveAuctioneers website regarding LivePayments, having a card on file with LiveAuctioneers and how payment processing works with LiveAuctioneers before you place any future bids with another auction house. Best, Harris Toy & Train Auctions

shill bidding
Most painful auction experience I have EVER encountered! Bidding was at about $80. I bid my max of $1050. Auction price was now about $120. Within 8 hours, the bid jumped to my maximum. This was suspicious to me, so I canceled my bid. Now, the high bid was about $260. Then the bid went to about $600. I waited a few days and then bid $950. Within 24 hours the bid on the item hit my max ($950). This indicates to me that someone had knowledge of my bid amount then, conveniently, bid just enough for me to hit my max. I am quite sure there was some really funny bidding going on somewhere. Namely, when I bid the $950 the price should have gone up to near my original bid $1050, but it did not

Hi Gregory-There was no shill bidding as alleged in your review above. The LiveAuctioneers auction platform does NOT reveal pre-bidding activity with the auction house. We would be happy to share the sale transcript with you, showing the bid activity. Any questions regarding the pre-bidding activity can be directed to LiveAuctioneers. When a lot is opened on the LiveAuctioneers platform, we do not determine the price it opens at. It opens at the current highest bid on LiveAuctioneers, which happened to be your max bid, as the transcript reflects. If there is bidding activity on our other platform we run simultaneously, those bids are entered as a "competing bid". We will be happy to discuss any concerns you have. Thank you.
