Avoid this auction house at all costs
This auction house and Live Auctioneers are scam artists. I purchased 4 autographed baseballs and a historical letter some 4 months ago. The authenticating company used is virtually unknown. Upon receipt of the items they were judged forgeries. In their offering, they included a counter-guarantee from PSA/DNA, the leading autograph authenticator in the sports memorabilia business which was totally unauthorized. This is mail fraud. PSA has sent them a cease and desist order. Despite numerous emails requesting a refund after returning the items to them, I have been totally stonewalled by Live/Sails despite numerous requests to address the situation, so now they have both my money and the items in question. If this review doesn't spur them to action, I will contact The Better Business Bureau and my lawyer. My additional fear is that they may have auctioned off said fake items to some poor sucker like me.

We appreciate your feedback and take your concerns very seriously. However, we would like to clarify a few points regarding your review. First and foremost, the items you mentioned were never returned to us. As a consignment house, all items we auction are consigned to us by third parties, and we ensure that any item accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is legitimate. Our commitment to authenticity is unwavering, and we stand by the integrity of our consignors and the items they provide. Regarding your claims about the authentication process, the company we use is reputable within the industry. The inclusion of a counter-guarantee from PSA/DNA in our listing was not unauthorized, as all authenticating information is provided to us by the consignors. We have not received any cease and desist order from PSA, nor have we ignored any emails regarding refunds or returns. If you did, in fact, return the items, we have no record of their arrival, and we would be more than willing to investigate this matter further. Please provide any shipping or tracking information that could assist us in locating the items in question. We are committed to resolving this situation and ensuring your satisfaction. We encourage you to contact us directly so that we can address any unresolved issues. Our goal is to maintain the trust and confidence of our valued customers.

Forged Items-Fraud Filed-Fake LOA's
Spent $7K + on 4 items with so-called "forensic LOAs". Items arrived packaged very poorly which was the immediate red flag. Forensic LOA's that were included were from sellers '"other" businesses. After further digging found seller to be involved in other fraudulent activities with various other forensic document examiners. Items were reviewed by both PSA/DNA, James Spence (JSA) and Beckett and all determined items were forgeries. Had to file Police Report to receive a refund. Finally did but lost over $1200 on authentication fees. Avoid at all cost. Spend $10 with PSA/DNA or Becket for a quick opinion before bidding. Those quick opinions will result in "likely not to pass" results, it will save you time and hassle.
