Bidder Reviews for Clars Auctions (1,030)

A very honest auction.

-

This image by Botticelli is as beautiful as I hoped it would be. The description was right on, the transaction was smooth, and the packing was superior. Bid with confience!

The lot arrived as described and was well packaged, complete with written instructions regarding opening the parcel. Shipping however took abit longer than I had anticipated.

As always, a picture-perfect transaction!!!

They advertised an item as being 19th century. Upon receipt, the name of a recent manufacturing company was CLEARLY stamped on the item; they did not show this in the photos. Their authentication expert did not even look at the item before labeling it as antique!! Then they refused to issue a refund after the Authenticator realized his mistake. They then lied to Live auctioneers, and to me. So they are dishonest and willing to sell fakes without any repercussions or responsibility. The worst kind of seller you can encounter. Avoid them at all costs!!!

Thank you

A very good company.

Excellent to work with.

Clars does a good job! Make sure to scrutinize the photos with any auction.

Clars handles things well

I was charged with 2 receipts, one from Live Auctioneer and one from Clar with different amount cuz, LA charged with Tax, I paid LA and took awhile for the two to talked to each other, then for shipping, LA always charged double and takes a long time and the on site shipping from NY (Raymond) He won't answer you phone even you leave a message for 4-5 days, When he answered the phone, he does not greet you just silence until you mentioned your business.

Clars was awesome! When you don't have to pay Live Auctioneers overpriced shipping everything else is golden

5-STARS

It is beyond me that Clars, a reputable auction house with integrity that I have been purchasing from for 11 years, would sully their name with the practices that are are utilized by Clars LA. Their listings are at the least intentionally misleading if not fraudulent. The fact that they post items for sale that have gold hallmarks and but do not disclose that the item is in fact gold plate is unethical if not unlawful. Furthermore, it is impossible to get in touch with anyone there by any means and they do not take credit card. I WONDER WHY. They took me for $1, 300. Don't be a sucker and let them take you too.

Would buy from again

I love Clars Auctions! I have purchased many items from Clars and will undoubtedly purchase many more in the future.

Really good experience! Thank you.

I have searching for an Antonio Jacobsen painting. The one I eventually bought came up at auction. Before the auction, I contacted Clars with questions The lady whom I spoke to (thank you, Shala!) was extremely helpful, patient, and kind. I did win the painting and payment was extremely easing. The shipping through UPS was very secure and the painting arrived a day earlier than expected. A great experience for me! I highly recommend Clars Auctions!! George, Washington, D. C.

Clars hides defects and will not resolve problems claiming the bidder was the failure.
