Friendly, helpful Auction House
Bought a lot from Small Auctions recently using the Liveauctioneers web platform. Easy to register and good detail and images provided. Communication with Small Auctions was excellent even though we are on opposite sides of the earth! Posting an packing was easy to arrange and very reasonably costed. Item arrived very quickly after the sale, safely packed and all as described. Very happy to recommend Small Auctions and would hope to deal with them again.
