Horrible experience
The items had scratch marks and you could see glue marks. I asked to return it, they did not agree. Horrible experience. Its sitting in a box in the closet. Waste of money.

Item was in very nice condition, verified by the pictures we received after this claim was made. Midcentury items may have slight signs of age, If you want new in the box, please shop with Ikea.

Shipping was fast and very reasonably priced.
They were very helpful in providing the info about the items that I was interested in bidding on. The items that I received were exactly as described. Shipping was fast and the shipping cost was very reasonable, which isn't the case very often at a lot of online auctions. I will definitely try to buy from them again.

Some confusion here...
Some confusion with this auction. Most of the time, I have very good luck with auctions overall. But this time I purchased a pair of antique bells. The auction failed to notice/mention that the large bell had a crack running the circumference. Further, in my listings, this auction is still requesting payment, even though these items were paid for and delivered. Yes, confusing...

Item mentioned is approximately 140 years old. It was sold as is, no condition report requested. It sold for a very reasonable price. This customer usually calls to inquire about items first prior to bidding, we would have gladly provided a report. We shipped the item before the customer paid for shipping as a courtesy! The requested payment has been updated.

BE CAREFUL, WHEN BIDDING ON GREAT ESTATE AUCTIONEERS & APPRAISERS
I PURCHASED A PAINTING THAT THEY ESTIMATED TO BE 400 TO 800 DOLLARS. AFTER PAYING ONLY 200 DOLLARS FOR THE PAINTING ITSELF I AM NOW INTO THIS PAINTING FOR 500 DOLLARS WITH SHIPPING AND FEES. THE PAINTING IS NOT WORTH MORE THAN 50 DOLLARS, BRAND NEW CANVAS, WHICH THEY DID NOT PHOTOGRAPH FROM BEHIND. I DONT KNOW WHO THIER APRAISERS ARE BUT I COULD NOT SELL THIS PAINTING FOR MORE THAN 50 DOLLARS. TO REMEDY THIS, HE SUGGESTED I SEND THE PAINTING BACK ON MY DIME AND HE WOULD STILL CHARGE ME THE 35 % COMMISION TO SELL IT. HE ALSO SAID AND I QUOTE "We would be better off not dealing with a group of bidders that may bring up issues like this in the future." JUST TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND. THANKS.

Although most bidders are happy with their purchases, unfortunately there are a few that are not. There are many circumstances involved, perhaps sales tax, shipping costs by another company, etc. that have nothing to do with us. This item had multiple pictures shown, description was accurate. Buyer contacted us after receiving the item with an issue about total costs. We suggest shippers, but there is no obligation, buyer may send any shipper of choice. Although having no fault in this transaction, we offered a courtesy discount, even to resell the item for the customer. Customer did not want to pay to ship it back and refused to accept our gracious offers. This bidder is using someone elses account, is not being truthful about the matter, and is unfamiliar with the auction process. We do our best to make each customer happy.

Lots of hidden fees, extremely slow shipping
It wants to charge everything, like cross state sale tax, packing, processing, transportation, shipping, etc., which increase more extra10 % cost from buyer's pocket.
Great Estates Auctioneers & AppraisersApr 12, 2021
Sales tax is handled by liveauctioneers as mandated by state. Shipping is a separate fee. We provide it as a service and a convenience. Customer refused to pay for shipping.

Very slow in every aspect post auction
Post Auction processing and support was the worst I have ever seen.

During this unprecedented crisis our world is facing, shipping may be slightly delayed. We appreciate all the patience and appreciation we receive from our valued customers. We do not overnight items unless prearrangement is made. Fragile item was delivered quickly and safe.

Honest description of condition-Overall transparency with the process
WOW! I won the auction even though I was outbid! Does not instill confidence in the auction process..

We always strive to make all of our customers happy. Bidder did not meet the reserve on this item and was allowed to purchase it as a courtesy. We have satisfied 1000's of customers over the last decade and would never do or state what was claimed. Bidder was accomodated for pick up and quite satisfied with the item, actually inquiring about other items.

Completely unfair rating. Buyer missed multiple appointments to pick up the item and never called back.

Customer left an unfair rating due to the lack of understanding of a buyer's premium and shipping cost. She stated she loved the fantastic item.

Met and exceeded expections!
I picked up a bedroom dresser and chest of drawers and found them as described in the auction. JC was very helpful and made an extra effort to make the process run smoothy.

Selling reproductions as originals
Buyer beware. They like to sprinkle in reproduction pieces with originals. Paid $80 for a $20 reproduction small sign. Feel so dumb and won't happen again.
Great Estates Auctioneers & AppraisersJun 24, 2020
We represented this simple as a sign. We handle many items from large collections and sell all types of collectibles. Most are antique, please inquire if you are unsure. We are very sorry for the misunderstanding. The sign sold for only $40.

Very Pleasant Experience
The whole experience was good. JC was friendly and helpful on the phone, and flexible with pick up times. I picked up from them in Port Jervis, so got browse around. So many cool old items, and it was fun chatting! Thanks!

Easy to work with. Clear on pricing. Honest
At a time when flea markets are not yet open, and estate sales are far and few between, it is nice to have a viable venue to buy and sell antiques and collectable.

Great Estates, GREAT Experience!!!
I have a long and consistently positive experience with Great Estates, on-line and in person. JC Dodd and his team are top notch. Their down to Earth manner along with professional acumen, inspire confident and a desire to attend/participate in all of their auctions. If you want fair prices for a vast array of treasure, run, don't walk to the next Great Estates auction! As a professional auction house, they are beyond "great" and I hope they remain in business for a long, long time.
Great Estates Auctioneers & AppraisersAug 07, 2020
Thank you for all your support and kind words. It has been a pleasure having your company throughout the years.

Unprofessional
Inaccurate description.
Great Estates Auctioneers & AppraisersJun 15, 2020
The measurement listed was misinterpreted by the buyer. All questions are welcome and responded to. Customer never inquired before bidding. We are astonished to receive this unjust rating. We were happy to pack & ship the item at a generously low cost and immediately. We will continue to strive for all customers to be satisfied. Great photographs and descriptions are listed for a reason.
